Hi Kids!Well, after being on the plains of Oklahoma and in the backwoods ( or so it seemed ) of Arkansas, I know I was ready for some location of a more metropolitan feel. And wouldn't you know it, we were heading into a golden day and it just so happened we were going to spend it in Memphis TN. I must admit that I wasn't all that jazzed about going to Memphis at first. I had never been, but then again I have never been to most of the places we're going. But I ha...

Hi Kids I'm finding it so totally amazing that we have played a number of theaters that are located on high-school campuses, some of which ( especially last night in Alma AR of all places ) are bigger, better and more well equipped than some of the "union" houses we've played. I should back up a little and give a little perspective. We had just finished playing Thousand Oaks CA, by far the largest theater and one of the more prestigious dates on the t...

Hi Kids Again. sorry it's been a long time between blog entries. After Thousand Oaks we had a travel day and then a day off in Flagstaff Az. And by the time we got there I was READY for a day off.

I don't think the photo does it justice, but when I stood in the very...

Hi Kids! This going to be a combination of a couple of things...a kind of catch up blog if you will. Saturday the 31st, we left, rather begrudgingly, the lovely village of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Sure do wish we could have spent more time there, lovely place. But, we had to make our way to Thousand Oaks, located just outside of LA and we had a bit of a drive ahead of us. But the question was quickly brought up...Should we take the highway to the T.O. and get there ...

Hi Kids! What I'm realizing very quickly is that distances between places are an awfully lot bigger than at home, at least they seem that way. California when compared to teeny, tiny Massachusetts seems so large it should be two states (as someone said whose name escapes me) instead of one. So we left the sunny southern California bliss that was Santa Barbara and traveled to the more northern California flavored location of Carmel-by-the-Sea. We traded our pal...
