Well, we loaded up the dinosaur and fired up the tractor and headed to the next show at the Colonial in Mandan, North Dakota. Let me preface the rest of the blog by saying that we are not unappreciative of any of the motels we had the fortune to stay in. Either the venue or […]

The Deep Blues Festival in Lake Elmo. This event was the kernel for the popped corn of the tour. We shared the stage with heroes and legends. I am not exagerating. I won’t spend the whole blog laying out the details. But we need to thank some folks before we get to the photos. Chris […]

Rolling the rocky Rockford Roads… Now that we are back up north, (we could feel are friends and family getting further away as we drove.) the weather is still muggy but cooler, and overcast. The cities are different here than in the south. Don’t doubt that there is a certain level of economic depression everywhere […]

It has been really hard to write. The first part of the tour was spread out, alot of time on the road between shows to reflect. As we journeyed through the south the shows seemed to tighten up, even at the constant pace of one a night. Certainly as we hit Nashville, Murray, and Louisville, […]

Nashville was a real treat. First we just had to stop by the Ryman Auditorium, the home of the Grand Ole’ Opry. Man, that was cool. Salim interacted with a few of the locals. Then we went to Robert’s Western World for a beer. They Still have a wall of the most fantastic boots for […]

I don’t remember where I left off…
We have to really concentrate to remember the day, even. But we do that based on how we think the turnouts might be. Monday night in Chapel Hill, for example. It is an understatement to say there weren’t many people there. In fact, I think we got into negative […]

Carolina Hills.
Knoxville, the Preservation Pub is located in a foot mall. They treated us well, we made a few friends. But not a huge turn-out. Dave’s lookin’ good. Still healthy.
The bridge in Charleston.
Charleston South Carolina, Fiery Ron’s Home Team Barbecue. If you have been there you already know. If you haven’t, get up and go. […]

Denver was pleasant to us. A good warm up. American Relay came down to the Old Curtis Street Bar to support and brought some folks. It was great to see them, thanks guys. (That’s Alex with the bass.) Sarah Free. Sarah Free. Sarah Free. She and her husband Paul took us in that night. First […]

Somewhere in the Universe, some one is drawing the dotted line on the map, and pushing in thumbtacks. Like in the Indiana Jones movies but the silhouette of an Econoline van instead of an airplane, and with Ennio Morricone’s music instead of John Williams’. As we push east along the southern border of Wyoming […]
