Classic Tracks: The Fireballs’ “Sugar Shack”
In August 1958, George Tomsco was facing a dilemma that many high school graduates face: what should he do with the rest of his life? Tomsco was the guitar player in the Raton, N.M. rock ‘n’ roll band The Fireballs. The band got its name at a high school talent show after performing a flawless rendition of Jerry Lee Lewis’ “Great Balls of Fire.” The recent success of his band in his hometown gave him the idea that he could make a career in the music business, but he had no idea how someone from a small town New Mexico could make that dream a reality. So, like many young men his age, he went off to college in hopes of training for a career. One night, while Tomsco was in his dorm room listening to an acetate of The Fireballs that his high school band teacher had recorded, a fellow student walked by his room and asked who the band was. When the student found out it was George and The Fireballs, he said they were good and should go to Clovis, N.M. to record with Buddy Holly’s producer, Norman Petty.

Art City, Here We Come
Just off Historic Route 66, a fantastically immersive sculpture park and glamping destination heralds a new era of possibilities in Tucumcari. DAWN LIGHT BATHES ART CITY in pastels. Mauves and pinks unfurl over the desert plains, lending a gauzy morning majesty to the giant sculpture of a poppy-red mouth that sits outside my trailer. I open the door to watch the sun slide over the chrome lips. It’s like seeing an ’80s commercial for the Amtrak Southwest Chief mashed up with a scene from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

The man who found his spark
Professor Jacob Davis talks about his life, education and theatre experience. In a small town called Bledsoe, within the panhandle of Texas, seemingly in the middle of nowhere, four siblings are having fun in the nearby sand hills. The siblings ride their bikes, flinging up the reddish sand behind them as they traverse the hills. This is one notable memory from one of those boys’ childhoods.
