Oh, those mountain boys sure can play!!!

The Mountain-Ear, Volume 15, Number 4, October 31, 1991: Hot local band spawned at seafood counter

By Barbara Lawlor
Narrated by Dango Rose

Have you ever wondered how some of those musical groups choose their names? Is there any rhyme or reason? Take, for example, Steely Dan, whose name has its basis in literature, after an item in Burroughs’ risque Naked Lunch. The Talking Heads were named after newscasters, the headshots on a television screen. Procol Harum?—who knows? And one can only guess what prompted Ten Thousand Maniacs. But here in the mountains, learning the origin of Boulder County’s hottest group, Leftover Salmon, is easy. Just ask ’em.

" While the rest of the world thought Michael Jackson and his brothers had departed Denver the Sunday after his recent Mile High Stadium concerts, he brought a few of his entourage up to Caribou Ranch. "Michael originally was going to commute between a Denver Hotel and the ranch, but once he got here he liked it so much he stayed,” reported Sandy Tomes, ranch manager. "

Chicago remains hit package from The Mountain-Ear archives, Volume 7, Number 47, August 31, 1984.

" Chicago 17 comes to the record stores and radio stations showing Chicago’s consistent talent. And it is no wonder with seven of the original eight members intact. It is no secret that the golden age of their recording came through the production talents of James William Guercio, owner of Caribou Ranch. He produced their first 12 albums, all of which went platinum, the first five recorded in New York City, the latter five produced and recorded at Caribou Ranch. There were two “greatest hits” collections in there as well. The Guercio-produced albums generated a dozen hit songs, including “Saturday In The Park” and "If You Leave Me Now,” which both went to number one on the charts. "If You Leave Me Now” was recorded at Caribou. "
