Austin was a great city and I'd love to go back and spend more time there. The hills and trees reminded me of Chattanooga and that was quite a surprise. The show went well and the highlight of the night was Ramon's trumpet solo on Dance With a Stranger. B...

We boarded the buses after a successful Bossier City show for the six and a half hour overnight trip to Austin. I failed to mention in my last post that David's wife and daughter were with us for the Houston show and they're still in the process of flying...

It was good to get back together with the band and play some music last night. The show felt and sounded fresh and all the solos seemed brand new. Houston heard our best and they responded with great energy. I met with several fans after the show. Here's ...

David Hudson and I were guests at the Booker Lowe Gallery, 4623 Feagan Street, Houston, TX., this morning. Booker Lowe is one only a few galleries in the United States that specializes in Aboriginal fine art of Australia. This ancient art is rapidly gaini...

Just a quick update to let you know we've all arrived safely in Houston. Everyone I've spoken with seems rested and ready to roll. I enjoyed an equal number of naps and bike rides while I was home and although it was really tough to leave my family, I'm r...

I'm writing this update while sitting in a cramped jet seat on my way home to Chattanooga. I feel like I should have something profound to write here at the end of the first leg of our North American tour. The truth is, I feel like I just stepped out of t...

We played the First Union Arena in Wilkes Barre last night. It was Yanni's first time to perform here and the audience was great. If my memory serves me correctly they were on their feet earlier in Niki Nana than any other audience. From where I stood it ...

Greetings from Richmond where we'll be performing tonight. The weather here has been absolutely perfect with sunshine and high's approaching 80. Our Sunday night performance on Long Island went well. Here's a note from a fan:The concert last night was abs...

Washington was great! The show started out with a bang, literally. Just before I hammered the first note of our opening song there was a cacophonous crack that sounded like lightning striking. The audience jumped. The musicians jumped. The sky did not how...

Last night's show was incredible. Everything, from the opening note to the closing cymbal crash, felt good. Yanni talked to us at soundcheck about the importance of the upcoming week of shows. Counting last night's show, we're doing 7 shows in 8 days and ...

I'm sitting here looking out my hotel room window next to the Meadowlands Sports Complex and for the first time in at least a week it is not raining, snowing, miserably cold or some combination of the three. I'm looking down on the Continental Airlines Ar...

Yesterday's day off was yet another snowy northeastern adventure, which means those who didn't have visiting family either hung out at the hotel or caught a shuttle to the mall. I think I've had enough mall visits to last a lifetime on this tour, so I cho...

The sun is shining this afternoon here in Manchester. Yesterday was a different story as we arrived around 7:30am with an air temp in the upper 20's and light snow falling. Here's picture of David exiting the bus. Everyone was exhausted from the long nigh...

It is really cold here. I thought my ears were going to freeze off on my afternoon walk today! There is a massive winter storm approaching and they are predicting up to 27 inches of snow in some areas. It will probably be another long travel night tonight...

We're sitting here at the border waiting our turn with customs. This is our second stop at the border in the long trip from Boston. The first border crossing at which we stopped was closed so we had to drive an extra hour to get here. It is 25 degrees. We...

I'm still shorting you guys on journal content as I try and catch up on other work. The good news is I'm making progress. The Mohegan Sun show was strong and the audience was rowdy, in a good sort of way. The hotel at the casino was the nicest we've staye...

It will be another quick update today. I've been spending time with my son, and also stole a couple of hours of freetime this morning to practice which is something I've not had time to do for over a week. The journals will become more content rich again ...
