It’s another West Coast Tour getting underway or overway. I was talking with Sue about how many times I’ve travelled west to California by way of interstate driving and I came up with the number ten. Truck stops, rest areas, wind turbines and donut shops out here on the prairie. Today we’re making our way…

Back in Tennessee Going to Britain in May was much warmer than on our last tour in November of 2017, which was a chilly one. I toured Britain five or six times, always in May, and had wanted to try a different time of the year. I remember one night on the November 2017 tour…

My pop gun was broken, and Grand Pop Cage could see that I wasn’t happy about it. We each got a ten ounce bottle of Coca Cola out of the frig and sat at the bottom of the stairs out back on Symington Avenue. The bottles of pop were delivered every Saturday from Uncle Lou’s…

We’re twenty seven miles from Roswell. We’re either gonna fill up or beam up. The state roads heading north and south are straight and long. Towns separated by thirty or forty miles. In Red, our Volkswagen, we are a minority. The road is traveled by mostly trucks, semis and pick-ups.

Pub singing in England is the combination of song and/or tune and ale consumption. It truly lifts the spirit whether you partake in the ale or not. The Mortal Man is typical in that the ceilings are low with exposed beams, a stone floor and mahogany everywhere including my guitar.

It has been over two months since my last blog and it’s hard to believe. When I last wrote I spoke about tea arriving at my Dad’s and how I would be taking mugshots along the way on my travels. My UK tour finished on November 19 and it was a fab time indeed. Funky…

Greetings from Baltimore. I’m heading “down the ocean” as we say here in the Land of Pleasant Living. I’m playing a few shows this weekend with my good friend, Troy Hanna. It’s always fun playing with Troy because I get to play a lot of banjo. I’m also excited because when I get back to…

Greetings and welcome from Baltimore. I’m writing from my Dad’s apartment, not far from where I grew up. I’m having a mug of green tea this morning and staring at a peach and deciding on whether to have that with my cereal or a banana. Maybe I’ll have both. There are locally grown tomatoes on…
