Bayou Seco

July, 2011

On our second visit to Silver City in July, 2011, we visited the Farmer's Market, and fell in love with the music of Ken Keppeler and Jeanie McLerie of Bayou Seco.

Ken and Jeanie are Silver City residents who have been making music together since 1978, and their repertoire runs the gamut from Cajun music, New Mexican dance tunes and songs and cowboy songs to Tohono O'Odham fiddle tunes. After dazzling us with a spirited Czardas, Ken whipped out a banjo made from an old grain scoop and a table leg and delivered up a spine-tingling rendition of, "Don't Go Riding Down That Old Texas Trail".
