  • St. Paul, MN

    Good afternoon from St. Paul. We dragged ourselves off the tour buses here shortly before 5am today. I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and hit the sack immediately for a few hours rest. Sleep on the bus was elusive last night, being kept at bay by multi...
  • Green Bay, WI

    (4pm) I've been promising will have to wait until another day. Please poke around the pictures page and notify me of any dead links. We're less than an hour away from sound check for tonight's show, so I've got to run. -------------(8am) I'm still working...
  • Milwaukee, WI

    It will be a fairly short post today as it is already 4 in the afternoon and we have lobby call at 4:20. I stayed up talking on the bus last night so I slept in late this morning and went for a walk with Walter and Bradley. I have a lot of new pictures th...
  • Las Vegas to Green Bay

    It is Tuesday morning and we are in Green Bay, having arrived here yesterday evening by private charter. The hotel offers free high speed internet service so I'll be posting some pictures later this afternoon. I also plan to get my fan pictures page worki...
  • Denver, CO

    Angie and Missy (my wife and daughter) joined me in Denver where we rented a car and headed for the mountains on our day off Tuesday. We took 70 west out of Denver and followed directions given to us by one of the video crew guys to a remote area at about...
  • Seattle to Denver

    Seattle's show was a high point for me as I had three guests from the Dusty Strings store in the audience. I was surprised at how nervous I felt. We've been playing for thousands of people night after night, but this was different. I have tremendous respe...
  • Portland to Seattle

    It is 4:15 in the morning and we've just arrived in Seattle from Vancouver. I didn't have phone or internet access while in Canada so it has been a couple of days since the last post. I have a lot of new pictures, but it will be Monday morning before I'll...
  • Off to Oakland!

    We stayed in Sacramento again last night, and will head to Oakland in a couple of hours to get ready for tonight's show. After the show, we'll continue on to San Jose where we'll spend the night.The weather here wasn't so great for getting out yesterday. ...
  • Oakland to Reno

    Friday night's Oakland show got off to a rocky start. As it turns out, the concert was scheduled to start 30 minutes after an Oakland baseball game. That would have not been a problem had the two venues not shared the same parking lot! Most of the concert...
  • Salt Lake City to Spokane

    I promised pictures in my last journal update but was saddened to find I couldn't get a high speed internet connection at our Salt Lake City Hotel. We arrived in Spokane, WA, this afternoon after a pleasant flight on private charter to find luxurious acco...
  • Fresno to Sacramento

    We have a day off in Sacramento today (Thursday) after an incredible show here last night. I'm anxious to read what those in attendance have to say. The show felt as close to perfect as any we've done to date. Angie and I are going shopping today, and the...
  • Los Angeles to Fresno

    Sunday was a fun day. I went to Scott Brannon's studio (see previous post) and was amazed what this cat is doing musically. (I've been in California for nearly a week now, so I'm like totally sure I'm using the word cat properly.) Seriously though, Scott ...
  • Anaheim to Pasadena

    I'm updating this journal early Sunday morning - early for someone who didn't get to bed until 2am that is. The audience was off the charts for the show last night at The Pond in Anaheim. I didn't understand why the arena had such a strange name until I n...
  • Phoenix to San Diego

    We had a great second night of playing at the Dodge Theatre in Phoenix. There were even more people waiting as we left the building after the show than there were the previous night. I enjoy meeting new people, even though it is still a little embarrassin...
