Long Days

In a life full of long days i had 2 that stand out in the last week. last Sunday i woke up at 6:00AM in Mississippi. Bnois drove us to Dallas in just under 7 hours. I went to
Love field and got on a plane to San Diego. 5-4 hours later i was being picked up in San Diego by my Road Dogs band mate Terry Padgent. He drove me directly to the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach CA to see our buddy Tommy Castro with his very fine band. We met Ruby out front as she had arrived earlier and got us seats in the front row that were saved for us by Randy McDonald, Tommy's bass played and tour manager. Charlie musslewhite was the opening act and he was 2 songs into it as we entered the club. He is the most soulful harp player ever and his band is tight and talented. Tommy's show is as always very energized. Tommy's drummer Chris Sandoval always inspires me to play hard. Ruby and i have traveled all over to see them perform. I might have just stayed in Dallas for a dew more days if he was not playing in San Diego that night. The concert was over around 12:30 and we hung around to talk with Tommy and the guys. Tommy invited us backstage and we chatted for a while. Ruby and i drove home in the rain and went to bed around 1:30. LONG DAY INDEED.

The other long day was Wednesday. I got up and did my thing during the day then had a walk at the bay with ruby. We went out for dinner then home to pack. I got on a plane at 10:45 PM.
I arrived in Charlotte NC at 6:00 AM and got on a flight to Richmond VA. I then got a shuttle bus to Williamsburg VA and arrived out my hotel at 10:00 AM and directly to bed. Now that's a long day.
