In this week’s deadtree issue of the Tucson Weekly, we did an an interview with Nowhere Man and a Whiskey Girl friends Bryan Sanders, Jimi Giannatti and Keli Carpenter. The interview was from a Day Drinking video we did with this NMWG crew about the ongoing online auction and the benefit concerts happening this weekend to honor Amy and Derrick Ross’ work and raise funds for the Lupus Foundation.
In the Day Drinking video, Sanders and Giannatti (and thankfully a little later, Carpenter) share some NMWG memories and I left wishing I hung out with these guys more often.
Don’t forget, the 2nd Annual Benefit for Amy and Derrick Ross: A Celebration of the Lives, Love and Music of Nowhere Man and a Whiskey Girl, is Saturday, Dec. 6 at Café Passe, 415 N. 4th Ave., 6 to 9 p.m. and The Flycatcher, 340 E. 6th St., 8:30 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Online auction continues through midnight, Saturday, Dec. 13 at www.nmwg.org.
In the video, Giannatti mentions a KXCI Locals Only interview Amy and Derrick did a bit ago, and how it captured the couple’s love, relationship and of course, their music. So we reached into KXCI’s archives and found it for you to have a listen, too, right here.

We walked by the house on Black Knob where Amy and Derrick lived (and where Derrick died) in Warren yesterday afternoon. It was decorated with red and blue lights for the season. There is a sweet and lovely mural that depicts the two on the front of the house. If you’re in Bisbee any time this month, take a detour down to Warren and drive by the house. It’s right next door to the Stanhope hacienda which is right above on Van Dyke, and which is impossible to miss.
