I had not heard of this Ronstadt's night club before. Does anyone know about it and when it was open. I checked the location on Google Maps- here is an article dated April 27 about upcoming plans for the building: Strut |

The image on the poster does not look like Linda, IMO especially the eyes... It looks more like Melania K.T.

That first poster is the one Linda's mother Ruthmary gave me back in the late 70's. I believe that was the last time the Stone Poneys ever played together as a band. I am guessing the artwork was done by a high school graphics art class student. I had my copy framed before it got ruined. It is on a thick paper.

Does your poster have a venue listed at the bottom or is it without the venue listed?
I notice this one had 58th St and McDowell Phoenix Armory but Palo Verde High School Gymnasium is written over that.

I don't think it is written over anything or I would have noticed it. That is odd about the Armory. I didn't think they had concerts there but most likely they used extra posters to advertise it. I will have to find it and look at the date on it. Interesting. |

You won't believe what I had to go through to find this and then photograph it lol. But here it is. Notice the different dates. The mystery continues.
The Armory is a strange place in Phoenix. It is nestled among the McDowell Mountains. Black helicopters coming and going and the famous Phoenix Lights UFO sighting went right over it on its way to Tempe where it scared the crap out of tens of thousands of people. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Lights
I believe the poster is modeled after one of my favorite Ronstadt/Poneys singles cover sleeves ....High Muddy Water.
It was thoughtful of Linda's mom to send this to me. She sent me a nice letter as well. She had the same scrapbooks I later sent to you when you were starting the new improved fan website. Her fingerprints are all over them  May she rest in peace. What a wonderful woman she was. So down to Earth. No wonder Linda turned out like she did. Her parents example served her well.
Did you buy that poster?
So she must have played the Armory in Phoenix on the 7th. Then back down to Tucson and played the high school on the 8th for the last time as a band. History in the making.
found this:
so I wonder where they actually played on the May 7 date? both places? Brophy Prep is just a few miles from the Armory so maybe both....it is a Catholic school in downtown Phoenix....

It is no wonder May 8th was the Stone Poneys last day as a group with the original members. If you look at May 7th they had the Armory, Brophy Prep and Arizona State University to perform at live.

I found a newspaper article from that year that mentions the May 7 concert:  |

The irony is that their next gig after Phoenix was in Tucson and that would be their last one as a group. They split up.

If that poster is for sale, I really should buy it, since I went to Palo Verde High School, 1978-1982! Yes. True.
Is it for sale?
