tour IS ON SCHEDULE

the tour (and ourselves) is covering a lot of ground... we will have crossed the country maybe twice
thanx to all who are showing up... the whole pairing with Pat seems pretty succesful, brining in new people for both acts
the Donnas are also a lot of fun, i must confess to not being familiar with them previously

so back in the bubble as we used to say; the road crew are pirates, in pirate mode that is, the busses, sound checks, hotels, monitors, the whole 9 yards

some memorable shows, and the band is very 'tight'... tight is a musical term that means everyone plays the same song at the same time but with precision

i dont have any specifics right at the moment
we are in Lake Winnipesaukee NH... i only know how to spell it cause there is a poster right over the desk here with a picture of a canoe at the edge if a wood and the heading "pleasant memories of the vacationists paradise"
the place we are in looks like twin peaks: rustic charm la la, maybe a murderer or two but i havent seen em

another fabulous hotel room

Yes! Cities of the Red Night, truly my favorite of all William B.'s books!

Very exited about seeing the band after many years of seeing you 2x: when I was in the audience of the Mike Douglas Show... and once at Klienhans in Buffalo. This time around my daughter ( a big, big fan) will be in tow @ the Canandauigua Show, CMAC. She'll be the one sporting the Christian Dior vintage orange crepe hat, holding the poster she made. Dad and daughter out on the town.

Also, just heard Willie Deville passed on... remembering it all, remembering it all...
