Pueblo’s inaugural contra dance nearly brought down the house January 9^th with the traditional acoustic sounds of the Nimble Fingers String Band. More than 130 people from all over the state, including a few of Pueblo’s dance hall regulars, packed the City Park Pavilion to dance the night away as Pat (banjo) and Kate (fiddle) McCracken, along with Randy Muniz (guitar) and Stevey Whited (standup bass) jammed some old country favorites.

He referred to the group as “a bunch of dirty rotten imbeciles.” Thus, a punk rock quartet got its name.
