Outpost campground resident Michael Rian Giancontieri, talks about his old life as a musician before moving to the trailer court in Montana. “ Old rock’n’rollers never die,” Giancontieri says. ‘ They just go acoustic.” Giancontieri said he was once offered $1,000 dollars for a song called, “ Mustang Ranch Blues,” that he wrote about shuttling men to the cathouses in the middle of the night when he was a taxi driver in Reno. Giancontieri said being at Outpost Campground makes him especially miss his twelve-string guitar that he couldn’t afford to keep after the move from Reno, Nev., to Mont. “ I play a twelve string guitar, I don’t have one with me anymore, but hopefully that’s temporary,” says Giancontieri as he searches for an old recording of his renowned song. “ It was a long, hard, winter without it.”
