Departure/Feb 13, 2009

Topic: Departure/Feb 13, 2009

Today's departure day. It's a huge itinerary, starting in St. Paul,
MN and ending up in Blacksburg, VA. Because of scheduling problems,
the band is staying out on the road for the duration, instead of
returning home for a day at at time.

My travel started well but hit a snag in Houston, which was fogged
in. ATC had my flight circle Houston for over an hour, so I missed my
connection. I was rescheduled for a 9pm flight to MSP, a 5 1/2 hour
layover.

I did reach the St. Paul Hotel around midnight. Pooped, I went to
sleep shortly thereafter.

The Kate, Old Saybrook, CT, 2/11/18

We played the Kate on a very wet Sunday night. It was our third appearance there and as always, the audience was great and so were the staff.   We played a fairly well-rounded set list, mainly to listeners, as there isn’t much room at the Kate to dance.  It was a good show, and afterwards we sold and signed CDs.  It’s always great to see our fans. I hope it’s not 4 more years until we play there again!

Rhodes on the Pawtuxet Mardi Gras show, Cranston, RI, 2/10/18

We’ve played the Rhodes on the Pawtuxet Mardi Gras show many times. It’s put on by Church Wentworth, who also produces the Ninigret Park Labor Day Festival. It was the 26th year of the Mardi Gras show, and the place was rocking! We played a rousing dance set, and we were followed by Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas, old friends and great musicians.

The Turning Point, Piermont, NY, 2/9/18

We played the Turning Point on Friday, 2/9.  If you’re not familiar with the place, it’s downstairs from a restaurant, housed in a rather small bar.  John McAvoy, the owner, is quite a character, and he always treats us great.  The place holds 78 max, and I believe there were 85 there! Some day I’d like to see what Piermont looks like in the daylight! We’ve never been able do that.   The audience was very receptive, no dancing allowed (no room), and we played a pretty good ‘sit down set.’ We look forward to our next appearance there!
