Time seems to always fly by. I haven't been to Scottsdale; nice to have glimpse of it through your photos. I'm not familiar with the song. I found it in You Tube and played in on the background while scrolling down your photos. Its a fun blog reading experience! Now I cannot get the tune out of my head. But thanks, I'm now feeling groovy.
