Our first show is tonight in Wray. We're hanging out enjoying the nice weather until its time to play. The drive over went off without a hitch, but it was, as usual, a long drive. By the time we got a little more than half way through Kansas, we couldn't take it anymore and we had to stop. We ended up stopping in Salina Kansas and decided to have a beer. We ended up hanging out for a while and bringing our instruments and picking some. The plan was to sit in a corner and play a few tunes and be ignored, but the plan changed as soon as we started playing. Everyone in the bar came over and listened and were very excited to have live music. We played until close and then listened to the rain and thunder while we fell asleep, hoping that there would be no tornados.
The next day, after much driving, we stopped at a state park and swam, ran, walked, and lounged in the sunshine. Of all of us, I think that Ruby was the most excited to be there. She didn't stop zooming from the time she got out of the car until it was time to leave. Upon arriving to Wray we stopped into 4th & Main and had some of the best food we've had in a very long time, and hung out with our gracious host EJ and later with Briar playing a strange full body video game where you have to jump over things and pet cats and ride in boats.
That should catch you up on most of our adventures thus far, and we haven't even played a show yet!
I'm really looking forward to tonight. I couldn't have asked for a better group of musicians for this tour. We'll have Zebulon Bowles on fiddle, David Richey on guitar and dobro, Matt Purinton on Mandolin and of course, me playing bass!
