E72 Retiring in Pearce, Arizona

Would you retire to a rural mining ghost town? Pearce, Arizona doesn’t have a supermarket or a movie theater, but it has musicians Donna and Gary Brown for entertainment. The couple grew up in Chicago; formed a band when they were young; got married and had long non-musical careers while living in Colorado; had their band rediscovered, put out an album, and toured while they were in their sixties; retired and traveled the country in an RV; and finally settled down by purchasing a home in Pearce, Arizona. Find out more about the Brown’s mind-blowing journey to a rural town in Arizona on Episode 72 of Retire There with Gil & Gene.

Donna F. Brown’s memoir is Finding Medusa: The Making of an Unlikely Rock Star.
