Mescal

Green Valley, AZ.  3/19/13:  It was a town like so many others; a single street, wide and dusty..two saloons, a hotel and a jail.  All you need out here..all you'll ever need.  To make a movie.

On Monday, Mick Lowman, who knows everybody and everywhere, took John and Marsha Taylor and me to Mescal.  You've been there, probably.  Anywhere you look there's a building you've seen in some western movie.  Let's shuffle some photos.

Saloon.  Quick and the Dead

  Frank Brown is in charge of security at Mescal. That's not a costume, either.  He's for real and one of the greater guys you're ever going to meet..unless you go where you're not supposed to go.

  On this very special occasion, though, Frank took us to see it all. 

  Thanks, Frank.
