Silver City -- Calling all dance lovers! The Silver City Museum Society presents the second annual "Diamonds and Denim Ball," Saturday, July 6, from 7:00 to 10:00 pm at The Flame, 2800 N. Pinos Altos Road in Silver City. The Horizon Band from Deming will play a variety of danceable music - country tunes from the 70s and 80s, a few contemporary country hits, along with rock and roll and Latin favorites.
Members of the band have deep roots in southwestern New Mexico. Craig Irwin is the band's rhythm guitarist and nephew of Meredith Neal from the band, Meredith Neal and The Bootheel Boys, a popular Western swing band that played regularly at the Murray Hotel from the 1950s through the 70s.
"We just love to get people dancing," said Irwin, whose mother, Dona Irwin, was New Mexico's District 32 state representative for 18 years. "That's what inspires us, is to see that crowd dancing and enjoying themselves."
Meredith Neal got Irwin out on stage at just 15 years old. Meredith's wife, Bobbie, and her sister Dona Irwin, both were born and raised in the H.B. Ailman House when it served as the town's fire station. Their home is now home to the Silver City Museum. The drummer of the Bootheel Boys was Inez Ybarra, Patsy Madrid's father. Patsy, the creative force behind this fundraising event, is the chairperson of the Silver City Museum Society's Fundraising Committee, and also serves as vice president of the Society's Board of Trustees.
