Homeward Bound!

Here we are a few days back from a whirlwind tour. Settling back into the "day job" is proving harder than I would have even imagined. I mean I dont even have that much goin on and yet I am mentally thinking that I need to set up and play tonight. What I thought weeks ago would be a nice hiatus for a week or so after the tour is hard to deal with now. Anyhow back to the usual.

Here is how things wrapped up. We rolled into St louis with time to spare, walked the ethnic Hill neighborhood and took our pick of excellent Italian food restaurants for dinner. Now don't get me wrong but it wasnt that anyone was dreading playing acoustic that night, it seemed more that we were so close to home and all that an acoustic show was a little anti-climatic. Well in a stroke of luck, the promoter had a band run too late and call him to say they wouldnt be able to make their opening slot, which happened to be at a very nice club across town, the Old Rock House. He in turn asked us if we could and wanted to fill in for them. There was almost no hesitation there, we would have to book it across the way and load in with no time to spare, which we did in professional fashion. I cant tell you just how eager we were to get up there, show it off, bust in some heads, and head to home. It was a great time. The band play on like a well oiled machine. Acoustics were a little mucky for some but you could tell that we had over a dozen shows under our belt at that point. Some of the same songs were just downright fun to play. After the show, we packed it up and rolled it out. Making the 5 hour trip to nashville no problem, Spotty at the wheel the whole way to the lyrics of Dave Dudely's Six Days on the Road.

We pulled into Nashville around 6 am, quiety and sleepily disbanded to the sunrise. I got a ticket for 56 in a 45, thanks lavergne police!

I have a few more Youtubes to put up, here is one, the part II from the prievious Breakdown Blues clip that features our favorite dancers of the whole tour!
