and off we go

This tour was an experience like no other. So much work, so much fun. Learned a lot about the bigger world out there, both musically and environmentally/socially. Met some remarkable people, reconnected with others, played for some really outstanding audiences.

I think I am also done with not having a tour manager. Marika, Dina and Alex were saintly in their patience and willingness to help, but the logistics have gotten entirely too complex for four musicians to handle and play shows. And, er, then get up at 7:30 a.m. to help build houses.

At some point we’ll consolidate footage from all four cameras and get a proper tour photo album together. In the meantime, here are a few from my collection:
