Back on the Road

Road repair of a pulley. The part arrived in 15 minutes and the repair took 10. They charged $42parts and labor. What planet you ask???? Alabama of course. Starbucks next to the garage also....... Yea, that's what I'm talkin about.

This was one of my travel outfits..What do you think? Haircut by Sharri.

This is me and Anika the lovely Bar Maid after the gig at The Back Room in Boca Raton.

The album is doing great. It debuted at #4 on the Billboard charts. I have heard it on the radio 5 times. What a thrill. Many of my friends have bought the album and i have gotten great comments from everyone.

In my time off had 2 great local gigs. First was with Alan Iglesias and Crossfire. Alan does a great SRV tribute. I rehearsed with him before and the gig went well. I love Stevie's music and was honored to share it with Alan's fans. The other was with my local band Road Dogs. We did a show up in the mountains. It went very well and it was fun to spend time practising and playing with Terry, Fred and Rick. Road Dogs will be opening for Smokin Joe when we play in San Diego.

I am back on the road with the band. I will be gone for 7 weeks. This is the longest time out with them. We have dates all over the country. I am looking forward to it but it will be hard being away from my family and other job for so long. We have 1 date in San Diego and a day off after so i will be able to see my family for a day. I arrived in Dallas Tuesday the 1st and drove for 2 days to south Florida. Tonight we play in Boca Raton then 2 more dates in Florida. Next is North Carolina and Maryland. From there we go to Indiana and Illinois. Up to Wisconsin and back to Dallas. I have a few days off then and i will head over to New Orleans to be part of Doyle Bramhall's road crew for 3 shows at Jazzfest. I meet the band in San Antonio for 1 date. Then we head to Las Vegas, LA, San Diego, and the bay area. Next up to Oregon and Washington state for 5 dates. Sounds like we might do a few in store appearances to pimp the album.

I hope you will come see us if we get near you!
