Mik Garrison at La Cocina Cantina, October 11, 2014 — Images and video by kenne
After spending some time checking out the scene at the “Tucson Meet Yourself” event October 11, 2014, we walked over to one of a favorite cantinas in the historic Presidio district. On this Saturday afternoon the music was by Mik and the Funky Brunch. As described on the La Cocina website, Mik Garrison is a beat-box looping, bassist, singer and saxman. Mik is a funk/afro-pop/jazz groove original song-writer that will free-style and make you shake yo rump.
Mik’s music is a fusion of different genres making use of synthetic and traditional musical instruments. At times I could close my eyes, picturing a young Tom Waits singing a funky, ” Bad As Me.”
They were cheap but they were real,
the old bistros. You could have a meal,
drink the devil’s own red wine, and contemplate
the sawdust on the floor, or fate,
as the full-fed beast kicked the empty pail.
— from “Poem in the Modernist Manner” by David Lehman

Window Shutter & Cactus In El Presidio San Augustin del Tucson — Image by kenne
Behind the shutter
is a dark room
and a dead plant
seeking light.
Behind the shutter
beams of light
search the room
by sunset.
We pass by
the blue shutter
as cactus shadows
crawl the wall.

Happy hour at the Cantina in Old Town Artisans, on the site of El Presidio San Agustin del Tucson, the fort built by the Spanish in 1775 to stake claim to the northern frontier of New Spain.
