Big double-bill show tonight w/ Marcia Ball. We have Roswell & Andy Stein as guests for a 60 min set. It's supposed to snow today and tomorrow. That will make traveling a bit harder; hopefully the conditions aren't too bad. Oh, all my posts are out of order, since I figured out how to post from MacJournal. No matter; it's my first blog!

Anyway, today's a couple of short drives: first to Nyack to the hotel and then later to Peekskill for the show. It's a co-billed show with Marcia Ball, which means we'll go on first and be back at the hotel pretty early. The weatherpeople keep on saying today'll be a wintry mix with ice tomorrow. Oh, Lord!

Date: February 13, 2009 10:39 AM 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.

Date: February 17, 2009 8:29 AM Topic: Februrary 17, 2009: Back to Work today Today we're doing a set on Acoustic Cafe, taped at Big Sky studios here in Ann Arbor. Tonight we got the Ark, a place we've been playing at since 1982 or 83. The tour is starting up big time, as we'll be playing more. So 1 down, 13 to go.

Date: February 16, 2009 1:37 AM Topic: More Notes; blog learning So now I have to figure out how to do this and of course why I am doing it. To use Google's blog, you have to do it from the web or you can set it up to add entries via email. This is fine and dandy; however, I'm not sure how you can add photos, etc. At least with iWeb, you have a lot of control over what you see. To change the theme, though, you have a lot of moving things around. Tomorrow I'll post some more stuff.

Does this work?
