Report from Santa Rosa

First night of the tour was great. Played two sets at the Black Rose Pub in Santa Rosa, after battling wicked traffic all afternoon from SLO up through the Golden Gate. Joyce fed me cateloupe cubes skewered on her knitting needle as I cursed the cars on 101. The crowd was wonderful, the food good and I didn't fall off the wagon! :)

Next stop is Mount Shasta City, where last year we stumbled upon a cool little venue called the Stage Door. I love how that huge snowy mountain looms over the little town of Shasta.

I'm sooooo ready to cross that border into Oregon, the land of big salmon and piney green forests. We'll have a 4-day breal after the Lake Oswego (Portland) gig, and are planning to rehearse for the new record at our secret retreat in Washington state. But after that, Joyce and I are also going fishing with our friends Anne and Don with Arrowhead River Adventures outside Medford, on rthe Rogue. Yesss!
