An Unforgettable Experience: A Day Filled with Music, Stories, and Fun
On a perfect weather day at the Christmas Circle in Borrego Springs, the Borrego Springs Music Festival Day on Saturday, March 25, offered a fantastic range of activities for everyone to enjoy, including dogs, kids, and anything in between. In addition to showcasing an array of musical talents, the event also featured an Art in the Park event that left the crowd in awe with stunning artwork and hand-made crafts on display. The music lineup was diverse, ranging from the bluesy tones of Dennis Franklin’s Rockin’ Memphis Blues Review to the energetic sounds of Disturbing the Peace and Lightning Blue, offering a mix of country, rock, and southern rock that had everyone tapping their feet.
Hunsingers Electricity in the Air!
One particular artist that caught my attention was Dennis Hunsinger, our favorite “retired” electrician from Borrego Springs. He was playing some of my favorite Tom Petty songs, and the crowd was ecstatic. Kids were dancing along with adults, and people at the booths were tapping their feet and walking with a little more rhythm in their step. The vibe was electric, and it was clear that the festival was a place for people to come together, enjoy some great music, and let loose. Throughout the day, the performances were accompanied by a palpable sense of excitement!
Borrego Springs' Pioneer Heritage Through Denny Duvall's Stories
Under the cool shade of a towering palm tree, I found my good friend Denny Duvall. His table was set up with a perfect view of the stage and all the festival-goers and their furry friends passing by. Meeting Denny, a long-time resident of Borrego Springs, was one of the highlights of my time at the festival. He was selling his first published book, “That’s My Story and I’m Stickin’ To It,” a delightful collection of whimsical short stories about life in Borrego Springs.
Denny’s family has a rich history in the town dating back to the 1930s when his father, Eddie DuVall, took over the store and postmastership in the valley. Despite the challenges of the Depression, Eddie kept the store going and served as Deputy Sheriff for the valley. After World War II, things began to pick up again in the valley, and the community of Borrego Springs began to thrive.
As I sat by Denny’s table, I couldn’t help but notice his engaging conversations with festival-goers, sharing his experiences of living in Borrego Springs for about four decades and what life was like in the town during its early days. His stories were captivating, and I found myself drawn to the conversation. Denny’s presence at the festival was a reminder of the importance of cherishing life’s simple moments and finding joy in the past and present.
