Hi Kids! It feels somehow refreshing and comforting to be back in the northeast, there's still some snow here and there and the air has that lingering winter chill that always seems to hang on until spring finally says...enough! I have to say it's been nice to be away from New England for most of the winter, we just caught the beginning of it when we were in Toledo OH, (Remember? Does 14 below ring any bells?) before we headed south and then out west, so we've m...

It's an interesting feeling. I mean, I've never done any extensive traveling in my life and never been away from home for more than a couple of weeks, so this has been and eye-opening experience in more ways than one. We'r...

Hi Kids It is so nice to be among the living again, I can't even tell you. I don't know what it was that I had but it sure was nasty, I'm just glad it didn't hang around too long.

I remember Mark (stage manager) talking to me back in New York about this being my first tour and saying in particular, " Take care of yourself, stay healthy...take yo...

Hi KidsGosh, I really do get distracted by shiny things. I always want to keep you up to date and then it seems a few days go by and we're already in another state and I realize I haven't told you where we've been. Well, this time I have an excuse. Laura came down to Ft. Lauderdale to spend the weekend and since we hadn't seen each other in about two months we spent some time together. That and doing four shows Sat and Sun. didn't leave much in the way of bloggin...
