Wendy Woo

A Colorado Favorite
Musician • Singer
Songwriter

Chances are you’ve been wooed by
Wendy Woo. As one of Colorado’s favorite
and most prolific performers, Wendy has
been called “Queen of the Local Scene” and
The Daily Camera, the Colorado Daily,
and the Boulder Weekly named her “Best
Singer/Songwriter,” “Best Local Artist,”
and “Best Local Musician,” respectively.
She is one of the few performers to win
Westword’s “Singer/Songwriter of the
Year” award five times, which resulted
with her induction into the Westword Hall
of Fame.  She has written over 200 original
songs and recorded more than 100 in a
variety of genres: folk, jazz, blues, funk,
rock, pop, and all of them in her unique
and beautiful style. 

But even if you’ve seen her perform, you
may not know much about her unusual
upbringing. She was raised by Bohemian
parents Bataan and Jane Faigao who moved
to Boulder from New York City in the 1970s
and became part of the founding faculty at
Naropa University as Tai Chi teachers. In
1982, Wendy’s mother organized a ten-day
conference at Naropa to celebrate the 25th
anniversary of Jack Kerouac’s book On the
Road. Most every major Beat figure alive at
the time attended the conference including
Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Ken
Kesey, Hunter S. Thompson and Gregory
Corso. Many of these influential figures
stayed around that summer and got to
know the family.

Wendy says, “I will always have fond Sally Taylor, Carly Simon and Wendy performing. Wendy produced 10 songs on Sally Taylor’s (James

in the music industry. “I used to play the Smokey Hill
River Festival every year in Salina, Kansas. That was before
Internet sales and I used to sell hundreds of CDs in a matter
of hours. I like to make albums, but people don’t really
buy entire albums anymore.” Due to the Internet and fans
preferring their music as digital downloads, it’s harder to
make a living as a musician and it seems all that effort was
getting to be too much at one point.

“I almost quit music in 2010. I was pretty much over it.
But then I met and fell in love with a fan, Charles Snyder.
Charles breathed new life into the band. Being a super fan,
he reminded us how much our music meant to people. He
had new ideas and big dreams for us! Since we met and
married, (her wedding was officiated by then gubernatorial
candidate John Hickenlooper), he has greatly improved

the one who connected

Gaines).

She says her next
project will be another solo acoustic project of thoughtful
songs reflecting where she and her fans are now: married,
divorced or both, raising children, dealing with the death
of a parent or partner. Following the solo project, she wants
to produce an EP of four great songs with her band and try
to get video, movie or commercial placement. But whether
that works out or not, Wendy says she’s content playing the
festival circuit, hanging out with her three kids and her new
dog and just enjoying the ride. To find more information

Renaissance. In the 1960s, elements of the Beat movement were
incorporated into the hippie and larger counterculture movements. Intuitive Psychic Readers ~ 7 days a week

Gregory Corso, the youngest of the Beats was probably best
known for his 1958 poem “Bomb” which was one of the earliest
works to confront the existence of the nuclear bomb.

Ken Kesey was an American novelist, essayist, and
countercultural figure. He was born in La Junta, Colorado and
grew up in Springfield, Oregon, graduating from the University of
Oregon in 1957. He wrote One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest along with
many published articles in Esquire, Rolling Stone, Oui, Running, and
The Whole Earth Catalog.

Jack Kerouac was an American novelist and poet. He is
considered a literary iconoclast and, alongside William S. Burroughs
and Allen Ginsberg, a pioneer of the Beat Generation. Kerouac is
recognized for his method of spontaneous prose. His work covers
topics such as Catholic spirituality, jazz, promiscuity, Buddhism,
drugs, poverty, and travel. He became an underground celebrity
and, with other beats, a progenitor of the hippie movement,
although he remained antagonistic toward some of its politically
radical elements.

All of Kerouac’s books are in print today, including The Town and
the City, On the Road, Doctor Sax, The Dharma Bums, Mexico City Blues,
The Subterraneans, Desolation Angels, Visions of Cody, The Sea Is My
Brother, and Big Sur.

Allen Ginsberg was an American poet of Jewish origin, and
one of the leading figures of both the Beat Generation of the 1950s
and the counterculture that soon would follow. Ginsberg was a
practicing Buddhist who studied Eastern religious disciplines
extensively. He lived modestly, buying his clothing in second-
hand stores and residing in downscale apartments in New York’s
East Village. One of his most influential teachers was the Tibetan
Buddhist the Venerable Chögyam Trungpa, the founder of the
Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado. At Trungpa’s urging,
Ginsberg and poet Anne Waldman started The Jack Kerouac School
of Disembodied Poetics there in 1974.

William S. Burroughs was an American writer. He was a primary
figure of the Beat Generation and a major postmodernist author
whose influence is considered to have affected a range of popular
culture as well as literature. Burroughs wrote eighteen novels and
novellas, six collections of short stories and four collections
of essays.

vision also included making this a living history museum, but their
new home and restaurant were what they focused on first. For

next to Sissy and take a nap. Sissy continued to be a main attraction
for diners until 1982 when she died at age 19.

After Sam and Bay divorced in 1967, Sam authored a cookbook
and launched a public television series on frontier cookery called,
Frying Pans West – (two additional cookbooks would follow – The
Fort Cookbook in 1997 and Eating Up The Santa Fe Trail in 2001).
In 1971, he married Carrie Forman, and in 1973, they decide to sell
the restaurant, taking payments in installments from the new owner.

Sam then returned to a business he knew well and started a new
ad agency, Arnold Media Services, a joint operation with his wife
Carrie and daughter Holly. In the meantime, the restaurant was
experiencing financial troubles and in 1986, Arnold bought back
the restaurant.

With the family’s passion and Sam’s characteristic charm and
wit, The Fort regained its iconic status and prospered. So much so
that during Denver’s Summit of the Eight in 1997, President Bill
Clinton hosted a state dinner at The Fort for seven world leaders,
including Tony Blair, Helmut Kohl, Jacques Chirac, and Boris
Yeltsin. Unfortunately, not long after, Sam’s second wife Carrie, an
accomplished artist who shared his love of Western history, passed
away in 1998.

In 1999, Sam and his daughter Holly revived the vision to create
a living history museum and along with the late Dr. Mary Fox
Arnold founded the Tesoro (Spanish for
treasure) Foundation now known as the
Tesoro Cultural Center. This nonprofit
organization’s primary mission is to
educate the public about 19th century
Southwestern history and is committed
to protecting and making available
the historic and artistic treasures of
America’s past.

from Yale University with a BA
in English and went on to run a
successful advertising business in
the 1950s before The Fort went from a shared dream to reality. He
also studied with James Beard, entertained Julia Child, attended and
taught cooking classes throughout the world, and was featured in a
number of national publications and television programs, including
The New York Times, Americana, Newsday, People, Sunset, “The

IsYour Home in a City or in Unincorporated Jeffco?

As a Realtor and resident of Jefferson County, I wince when I see There are pros and cons of being in unincorporated vs.

Another example of why you shouldn’t judge from a mailing

It’s understandable that the Post Office wants to use a city name — Jim Smith, Realtor®
for every address, no matter how remote, instead of using the term
“Unincorporated Jefferson County” in the addresses.

Littleton is another example. Although Littleton is the county seat
for Arapahoe County, much of south Jeffco has Littleton addresses.
But less than one square mile of Jeffco’s Littleton addresses are in
the City of Littleton! As we all know, Littleton’s reputation suffered
horribly from the 1999 mass shooting at Columbine High School,
when in fact that school is a mile from the City of Littleton and is
part of Jeffco Public Schools. Such is the power of postal addresses!

To the right is a graphic showing the incorporated and
unincorporated areas of Jefferson County.

It may surprise you to know that Golden’s two ZIP codes – 80401
and 80403 -- cover a total of 187.3 square miles – much bigger than
Denver! The City of Golden itself, covers only about 10 square
miles – about 5% of the area using its name, and about a third of the
population who think they live “in Golden.”

Because ZIP codes covering rural areas are so big, statistics about
individual neighborhoods are not generally available, and statistics
for the ZIP codes as a whole are meaningless. Some marketing
companies use the term “neighborhood” when referring to a ZIP
code, which works fine when the ZIP code is one square mile, but
not when it’s 20, 50, 100, or 150 square miles!

For comparison purposes, look at the City and County
of Denver. It’s only 155 square miles, and that includes Denver
International Airport’s 54 square miles. Subtract the airport, and
Denver, with its 41 ZIP codes, covers only 101 square miles – about
half the size of Golden’s two ZIP codes!

Fortunately, REcolorado, which is our local MLS, allows members
like me to draw boundaries around any actual neighborhood when
searching for listings or generating statistics.
