Well, I am back from my short band tour of two gigs..It was fun and tiring too..Just being in airports most of the time is enough to make you crazy..but I'm also scared of flying..So our plane out of NYC was delayed due to bad weather which made me pace around like a freak..North Carolina show was fun..very humid there and we didn't have a car so we had to keep bugging people to drive us everywhere..We played early too so there really wasn't many people there, but the crowd seemed to like us and we got to meet some nice folks..like Christopher King and his wife..He and John nerded out about 78's for quite some time while I found some New Yorkers to sit with..Our friend Dom Flemons was playing too and The Wiyos..I got pics of them jamming..but have no pics of us! When The Wiyos played the PA went out so they moved up to the crowd and played without amplification..Dom sounded great as usual..We kept eating at Ruby Tuesdays where they loved us but kept asking us in confusion why were we in Eden, North Carolina when we could be in NYC?..Hehehe....Every airport had nice and helpful folks except the one in NYC of course..They were horrified that we had 3 instruments and big bags full of stuff...They acted like we ate their babies or something..umm....babies.....drooool...
I was going to get my pic taken in front of the Eden Drive-in theater, The Eden gas station, and the Eden church which had a sign that said ABORTION IS MURDER!!!! but I figured that would be overkill..I did take a few pics though..
Chicago was really fun where we played with Dom again and Blind Boy Paxton..I'll post those pics up tomorrow..It's kind of nice to be back in the city..but now I'm excited to go to play in Italy in July!
