To be without a home / Like a complete unknown

The Flagstaff Song Circle has not yet achieved the inevitable prestige and success that allows us to throw our weight around with the entitled ego of rock stars. Last month the Hotel Weatherford had a paying client reserve the Zane Grey Ballroom.

And since we can't yet simply demand any venue we like on the spot, we had to scramble to find an alternate venue. What we found was Flagstaff's Heritage Square.

for a circle of homeless songwriters.

It wasn't that bad. Really. It wasn't.

This month's Song Circle is roughly on the 46th anniversary of the release of "Like a Rolling Stone," Bob Dyan's classic song of a comeuppance, where the target of the song, Miss Lonely, "has fallen from grace and is reduced to fending for herself in a hostile, unfamiliar world."

Seriously, it wasn't that bad.

But this month I've confirmed that the Zane Grey Ballroom is available.
