Very soon, any moment now, we'll start the drive up to East Wareham MA for Bluegrass on the Bogs. We don't play until Sunday, but who can resist hanging around a festival? Certainly not I.
The night before last we were in Fredericksburg, VA, where we waited out the hail in the van and then wandered around in the pouring rain until we stumbled upon a bar that had everything... There were pin ball machines, big buck hunt, a bean bag toss video game, live music, cheap beer, cheap pizza AND alligator tail! We ordered some beer, some alligator chunks and played pinball until we ran out of change. I haveto say that alligator is pretty tasty! I never expected to be eating alligator in Virginia. I guess that just goes to show that you really never can tell whats going to happen.
Yesterday we spent most of the afternoon driving through somepretty heavy rain and stopping for the night somewhere in New Jersey, where we still are. What I enjoyed most of all yesterday was getting a chance to listen to my friend, Rorey Carroll's CD, Roadside Lullabies.
I've heard it before, but this was the first time I got to listen to it beginning to end, uninterrupted. If you don't have this CD yet, I highly recommend that you purchase it. My three favorite tracks are the first track, about heading to the south, the murder ballad (of course) and the fun and bouncy, Rhythm. I'm not going to tell you which tracks they are, you'll just have to get the CD and listen all the way through.Oh, and don't forget that Rorey will be opening for us out in Colorado at Bar SS on Friday June 3rd.
Which reminds me: I am so excited to go to Colorado! It seemed like it was so far away, and now here it is, right in front of me! I'm also excited to get home to my sweet little Ruby dog, and Lump and spend some quality time before we hit the road again, this time, with Ruby along for the ride.
Alright, Here's a preview of one of our Colorado Tour posters!
See ya!
