Virg had just retired
He mixed his last drink
But God must be thirsty
He was taken in a blink
Now he has left us
We’ll miss him one and all
Our long time well known barkeep
Has sounded his last call
As you sit at Joe’s Bar
And inbide your favorite potion
Remember Virgil Grimes
THE MOTION OF THE OCEAN

Hello Boulder Creek People.
I got a notion to search for Lynette and Ted whom I married in Phoenix in 1983 at Canyon Lake. Quite a story there. Coming up on 30 years.
Could you please send this Hello to Lynette or give me an email address to contact.
Thanks,
Robert McNary, Harlowton, MT.
Our Response: We know Lynette as the Boulder Creek Library branch manager. We don’t know her email address, but we’ll look in to it. We would love to hear the story!

Kimberly White of the Santa Cruz Sentinel covered last night’s Boulder Creek town hall meeting with Bruce McPherson. From the article:
“If residents here had their way, a now-vacant lot in the downtown area would be turned into a plaza or park, and streets would glow with bright, welcoming lights as darkness begins to fall. Caltrans would quickly approve improvements along Highway 9, the main artery that runs through town, and the business sector would not expand into residential areas.”

One of the nice instruments at our town music store… come take it for a spin.
Below is a note from Boulder Creek Music owners Ray Newkirk & Barry Tanner. If you have any instruments or music gear you’d like to sell, please bring them by the store. They’ve hit a big bump in the road, but are doing thier best to keep the shop open.
BOULDER CREEK MUSIC LIVES! 2-15-13 – By Ray Newkirk & Barry Tanner
Before too many rumors are spread lets quickly shed a little light on the life and death of Michael Aron (<not a typo) Smith and the status of Boulder Creek Music.
Yes, there was a Uhaul truck taking instruments from Boulder Creek Music on Tuesday & Wednesday, 2/12 & 2/13/13. First, we are not closing our doors.
As most of you know, BC Music opened it’s doors 11/17/12. It was the dream of Michael Smith and Barry Tanner. Ray Newkirk jumped in as one of Santa’s elves because it seemed like a good idea.
Mike ran the Musician’s Trading Post on Ocean St about 25 years ago then got married , moved to Seattle, opened the Trading Musician, got divorced, opened Georgetown Music, ran that for 6 years then decided to move back to Boulder Creek, where his son, Marshall, had been born in 1989.
Since then, Mike took his own life at the end of a rope in Seattle (some call it suicide capital of the U.S.), presumably due to heavy financial woes, right after selling Georgetown Music to his ex-wife. As most of the equipment in BC Music came from Georgetown Music, much of it went back there because Marshall is rightful heir to Mike’s estate.
