Legends of the Tucson Underground
legends / home
The first thing to say is "thank you."
There would be no scene without these people and places; they all
contribute in different ways. Word to those who complain about who
is-- and is not-- in this section: None of them ever asked to be
listed as "Legends," and many suggested someone else.
Criteria for "Legends": Undisputed talent and a collaborative heart.
-- CIA ROMANO, spring 2004
