Myrna Loy Center, Helena, MT

Topic: Myrna Loy Center, Helena, MT

The band took the 'south route' to I-15 to Helena, across the Lehi
Pass, the same one Lewis and Clark took in 1804. The views were
stunning! And the road wasn't paved, which added to the drama.

We stopped in Dillon, MT for lunch at a Mexican Restaurant, and the
food, when we did get it, was good.

We got to Helena around 3:30 and were off to the venue by 5pm. The
Myrna Loy Theatre used to be the Helena jail, which is interesting.
Gary Cooper was also from Helena, and there were posters from both of
their movies in the lobby, as well as one of Myrna Loy's dresses.

The show was well attended, and everyone was tired, probably due to
the elevation we've been at for the past few days. It's hard to
adjust to higher elevations when you come from below sea level.

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!
