We arrived at Phoenix from Albuquerque on Wednesday and drove straight to Tucson. That night Jeb and Paul (the promoters) took some of us out to eat at El Churro, which was very good.

On Thursday Jimmy, Mitch, Michael and I did a radio show at KXCI
before the sound check. Nice station! 

After sound check, we ate at El Indita, another very good restaurant.

David Lindley opened the set, playing a different instrument for every
song. He is amazing. Then we took the stage around 9:30 and played
for an hour and fifteen.

Today we're going to Chandler, AZ for the Chandler Jazz Festival. The
hard part of the tour is beginning....

Carpenter Center, Long Beach, CA, 9/26/9

Though it was a long day of travel, we had a good show at the Carpenter Center. Iris Dement opened the show and was well received. She played about 45 minutes and we played for about 75. Lots of fans were lined up afterwards for CD signings, and when it was all over and done with, we were just plain exhausted. Next up: Askenaz in Betkeley. [Posted with iBlogger from my iPhone]

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.
