Smiles & Miles Mugshot Tour 2017 Part 1

by Billy Kemp on November 28, 2017February 19, 2023

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 pubs, Social clubs, a Repurposed House of Worship, an English Roadhouse, a dark, hip, a second floor Renaissance-y, restored nearly ruined, drinking and listening room, among one of my favorite walks, a Music and Yoga Studio concert, an Italian Restaurant/Jazzy Supper Club, a former Flax Spinning Mill turned pub and concert hall and others.

Mug Shot From Baltimore

by Billy Kemp on August 28, 2017February 19, 2023

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 the window sill and the Maryland sweet corn I’ve had while here has been some of the best ever.

Mickey at Artland

Back in February I had the one of the world’s greatest harmonica players over to my studio, Artland, here in Nashville to do some recording. Mickey Raphael, born and raised in Dallas, Texas, has been performing and recording with Willie Nelson for over four decades.
