Ken "Cowman" Shirk
News came today that Ken "Cowman" Shirk is no longer with us. I first remember met him in his late stages in 2014.
Then I have a dim memory of him being a legendary presence at the long-ago then-Catalina Marathon, where he was ancient when I was still a wet-head pup to the process. God-holy-damn, here was this shaggy bearded bro with a buffalo horns. And he finished way ahead of me.
Here at the 2014 WSER100 finish line, Placer HS. Sadly I didn't ID the lovely finisher here.
RIP.
Hermanos Herreras performing at the Ranchero Roundup July 29, 2023.

This evening it was Nortena, and Cumbia. I'd seen them last year at the Topanga Banjo & Fiddle where they performed Jarocho style.
Hermanos Herrera have shared their music with a wide audience, performing throughout the U.S. and Mexico. They have performed at world renowned venues, alongside the biggest names in the music industry and have appeared on numerous national and international television programs. They have shared the stage with; Los Tigres del Norte, Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano, Linda Ronstadt, Conjunto Primavera, Los Lobos, Intocable, Julieta Venegas, Ozomatli, Jose Feliciano, Montez de Durango, and Banda el Recodo, among countless other artists.
Incomplete roster:
Jorge Herrera: Accordion, Violin Huasteco, Requinto Jarocho, 1era Voz

I got these pins in Havana, August 1973. I was a 17 yr old guest of the Belgian Embassy, as my uncle was then Belgian Ambassador to Cuba. I got a fine education on Cuban ci**rs, mojitos, and watching how things work in a Communist satellite state.
July 26 1973: 20th anniversary of the start of the Fidelista Cuban Revolution. It's an entire mythology, that gets creakier with each passing decade. Last time I was in Havana in Jan 2019, the revolution graphics are increasingly young men's memories of a shrinking gerontocracy. One day it'll all get junked, or made into a theme park.
Things really heated up when Salvador Allende was overthrown in Chile, on 9/11. Fidel and Raul were in Hanoi, President Osvaldo Dorticos was left to mind the store. There was panic. Nobody yet knew about the murders in the soccer stadiums and disappearances. The initial public reaction was "one down, one to go." The secret police put a quick end to that.
A week later at Jose Marti Airport saw me watching the Chilean embassy staff, white as ghosts, waiting to board their flight. The Israelis were also ejected, just for the hell of it.
