KXCI Compilation CDs

The Best of Growing Native Volume 3: A Road Across The Grassland The latest installment in the Growing Native series features Petey Mesquitey and his entertaining and witty take on the Sonoran Desert.  Petey Mesquitey is KXCI's resident storyteller. Every week since the spring of 1992 Petey has subjected KXCI listeners to slide shows and poems, stories and songs about flora, fauna, and family and the glory of living in southern Arizona. Petey and his wife, who through no fault of her own is the beautiful Ms. Mesquitey, live in a 1991 Marvellette on the banks of the ol' Guajolote in Cochise County Arizona.
