Radio announcer: John Bradford

Quoted from the Fred Mill's article about this concert:

Musically speaking, regular listeners of KXCI will be well familiar with the players at the benefit. The return of Al Perry is a big deal to longtime Tucsonans - he's been a staple of KXCI playlists since its inception -- and even recent transplants such as myself. A while back, Al surrendered his long-standing position as the hippest hotel desk clerk (at Hotel Congress) in Tucson to move to San Francisco, leaving behind a huge group of sincere well-wishers who found themselves minus one more cool show to attend each month (Al was a fixture at Club Congress, either performing solo or with The Cattle).

I recall that the first time I vacationed in the Old Pueblo, a year or so prior to moving here permanently in '92, he was the first person I met. I'd already been in correspondence with him and a fan of his music, so it was quite a personal thrill when, after checking in to the Congress, Al graciously offered to help me tote my luggage up the stairs. "But Al," I sez, "You're a big local rock star! Rock stars don't even carry their own suitcases!" Al just smiled his cryptic grin, and it wasn't until several years later I learned that in Tucson, no one's a rock star. But I digress; from surf-drenched, twangy countrypolitan cowpunk (uh-oh)to sweetly-textured folk to overt Brian Wilson worship to some of the most evocative, most cryingest-in-your-beer straight-up country this side of George Jones, Al Perry is a Tucson original, and it doesn't matter how far he strays, he'll always be a local legend.
