eTown, Boulder, CO

Yesterday was our performance at eTown, with Nick and Helen Forster.

I knew it was going to be a long hard day, but we all did well. We
loaded in at 3 and proceeded to sound check. The finale song was a
CCR tune whose name I cannot remember right now. "It was long
ago.....I know...." Oh yeah, something about the rain: "Who'll Stop
the Rain" That's how tired I am now at 7am!

I got to play a little 30 second interlude with Nick, which was fun.
He had Michael's Loar mandolin and I had a 1920's L-5. We did "Billy
in the Lowground."

After the show, everyone was invited to a reception at a restaurant
called Centro here in Boulder. The food was very good, as was the
beer. Being so tired and sleepy, I came back to the hotel at 10:30
and was asleep by 11:30.

We're departing the hotel at 1:30 for the drive to DIA/DEN. Our SW
flight's at 4:45. I would imagine we'll be eating at the Frontier
Restaurant in Albuquerque.

The tour continues!

Chandler, Arizona

What a strange place Chandler is: a made up resort on the edge of the desert. We were treated quite well by the promoter; everything was well done, from the accommodatios to the dinner to the venue. We also sold a box of CDs, so it was all good. Heading to LAX right now, and it's a beautiful day out there. I'm looking forward to playing at McCabe's: I've heard about for so long that it's somewhat of an icon to me.

TN Shines, Knoxville, TN

Date: April 29, 2009 11:54 PM Topic: TN Shines, Knoxville, TN The day started with the Blue Plate Special on WDVX in Knoxville. This was a live broadcast both though the radio and on the internet. This was a good show. The DJ took us to lunch before we had to rush to the Bijou Theatre to do a sound check for Jim Lauderdale's TN Shines radio show. The band got a standing ovation after the short set, which means we need to come back to Knoxville for a regular BeauSoleil show sometime soon! Tomorrow we fly home to New Orleans. Big weekend in SE La coming up!
