more on baggage. . .

I attempted my first trip, with kids , traveling solo ( adult wise that is) for a few shows and some days off with the children . I've traveled alone with them many many times so that is nothing new and I've taken my huge amount of gear on many flights before but combining the two things was a new horizon I hadn't reached before. By the time I was getting the kids from the taxi into the airport to check in I was already sweating , pushing two carts and the kids each carrying a violin. We looked like a crazy hippy family. . .me with my guitar leading a nutty parade around the airport and all this stuff and the kids tagging along . . . .with their own violin cases and we musta had at least five people comment. . ." are you the Von Trapp Family?" . . ."what do you have there . .some prodigies or something?" . . ." what's in those violin cases. . .MACHINE GUNS?!" ha , ha. . .Always a funny one in the airport , that I hear EVERY SINGLE TIME I fly anywhere.

We made it to N.S. just fine.

East Coast

Looking forward to my East Coast shows so much.
Mike and Creighton will be joining me and we'll get a chance to do this new show in some very lovely Theatres.
I've been hanging with my kids and enjoying the summer . Songs from Little Shop of Horrors and the original Star Wars soundtrack are the reigning favourites right now. ( I've been searching for those original Star Wars disco remixes but. . .no luck so far )
I still define the summers of my childhood by the albums we were into. . .
Abbey Road
Sir Duke ( we had the 45)
Elvira ( also on 45. . . . . .giddy-up)
Jesus Christ Superstar. . .then later Joseph and the Amazing. . . .( not the Donny Osmond production ! The original with the male narrator who sings kinda flat. . . . . . )
