Thelma and Louise

I am frantically getting ready for the Siren's of Song tour. Will play first show fri night and am looking forward to getting to work ( so I can have a vacation) First week of school is hectic and my kids are doing great. They are falling into bed , exhausted . Me too. . .

I have been prepping for the show and wondering what the others will be playing and which songs I should do etc etc . It's very difficult to pick only a few tunes when you've been playing a whole 2 set show all summer. Quite a different approach and creatively challenging. I am bringing a bass so I can contribute some low end and Annabelle and I will no doubt be adding some strings whenever possible. (Love having two of us in the string section.)
Lynn Miles and I are gonna "Thelma and Louise" it together from Winnipeg to Brandon for the first show . A nice way to shake off Toronto and get into Prairie mode.
