Love reading the history of Santa Fe and hearing about the lives of all the artists who have been drawn to its expansive and intoxicating beauty. Feedback from your sis: this could have been two posts; too much for my brain to absorb in one sitting. It’s all fascinating though and should be offered to your readers in smaller portions; otherwise, hard to digest and metabolize……. Just saying……
Thanks, Sis, As you might have seen, I've had LOTS of "multi-part" posts. Five on "Trules Rules" just before THIS ONE on my "Review of the Decades". I find that readers diminish over "the parts" and you are one of the ONLY readers who complain about the length of my posts (although I KNOW they are longer than many other Substack writers!). But I wanted to contain all the artists who stayed at the Turquoise Bear in A SINGLE POST for this one, and even so, I had to edit many out. YOU need to LOSE SOME CLIENTS. LOL.
We have so much history at The Turquoise Bear, where Chris and Mason and I stayed numerous times- back when the amazing, ever-charming former co-owner/manager Robert Frost (yes that is his name) held court in the most majestic way esp. during wine and cheese hour. It's where, in the parking lot, Chris and I had the biggest fight of our relationship and the biggest makeup- just 3/12 weeks before he died. So this was the first place I needed to return to, to stand in the same spot in the parking lot where all that happened. And we did return, Mason and I, a few times. Favorite rooms: The WItter Bynner, the Georgia O'Keeffe and as a family, we'd stay in the Shaman. And yes, the souls of writers and artists linger, you can feel it. It's one of the great treasures of old Santa Fe.
This is my favorite yet, love how your digging into Santa Fe and leading the way, so very glad we met you!

You won’t lose me, it was enjoyable and informative; perhaps shorter attention span than your other readers.
and now we can add "Eric Trules" to the list of great artists that have come to Santa Fe.....
Anyone reading this Comment and Reply, just know that I paid Mr. Goetsch many wompom for his flattery!!!
