Hi Kids It has normally been my custom to write about a stop on the tour after it's happened, but I felt I had to tell you about this stop as soon as I could. In a word....wow. Santa Barbara...I'd have to say, so far this is my favorite stop (Sorry Toledo) I really could get used to a place like this. Santa Barbara, for those who have never been, is a beautiful, vibrant, small city right on the ocean, north of LA. It's main blvd (State Street) is lined with tr...

Hi Kids! Sorry.. it's been a few days, I know. It's not that I've been really busy...just lazy. So, sorry if this is a bit long. Let me see, since the last blog entry we've been three places, Baton Rouge LA, Wickenburg AZ and Queen Creek AZ. Baton Rouge was fun because one...we were finally out of the cold weather and starting our swing south and to the west coast, and two... I got to see my sister-in-law Martha and her daughter Julez. Such a treat to have t...

Hi Kids! It's been a few days since my last blog, it's been that busy. We just got through doing 7 shows in 5 days, 6 of those were in Toledo OH, at the Stranahan Theater, by far the largest theater we've been in so far.

Don't ask me which college, the name escapes me at the moment. And ...

Hi kids! PHEW! This was a nice break. After New London our next show is in Elyria Ohio, but we were due for a day off so our tour manager Matt planned it out so we'd spend our "golden day" in Pittsburgh. Good choice. Not only breaks up the trip but we get to see a pretty nice town. I'm ashamed to say that I know next to nothing about Pittsburgh other than it having the rep of being a blue-collar workin', former big steel town. Home of the Pirates, Pe...

Hi Kids! We keep rollin' along! We had a nice weekend in New London, cast and crew were very happy to not have to pack up and leave after one night and go on to the next venue. The people at the Garde Theater were oh so nice and even catered a meal for us between the shows on Sunday...umm lasagna! Top notch! Can't say enough good things about those folks. Thank you guys! The Garde Theater is another interestingly beautiful place, whereas the Capital Center i...
