On The Bus

We are now on our way from Tampa to Ft. Lauderdale. Until today we have flown from venue to venue. Tonight we were introduced to our new homes. Welcome to the tour bus.

The musicians are divided among three buses, the crew is on several more. Our bus (I haven't seen inside the others) features two lounges, one forward, one aft. The bunks, 12 of them, are stacked three high in the center section. We have a Direct TV satelite system, DVD player and Stereo with large television sets in the front and rear lounge. There is a small kitchen area and of course a bathroom. The accouterments are first class and in good shape. If you have to live on a bus for a few months. This is the way to go.

Tonight's show felt great. The audience responded with several standing ovations and I felt my solos were solid, especially the one in Sacred Ground. I'm feeling more comfortable with each successive show, and at some point tonight I became aware that I was feeling quite relaxed on the stage. I am enjoying this, though I miss my family more each day as well. I'll get to see my wife and daughter for a couple of days next week when we head through Georgia and Tennessee. I don't even want to think about how long we'll be apart after that.

Several of you have purchased one or both of my CDs recently. I hope you'll take a little time and email me a review. I want to put together a fan review page soon. I recently posted a review that appeared in the weekend section of the Chattanooga times. Click on the Music Link to the left and check it out.

For those of you in Chattanooga you can now purchase my CDs at Cat's Records on Brainerd Road. I'm also working on getting a larger distribution going.

I'm gonna go check out my bunk now. Good Night. ¶ 5:11 PM
