Harder than I thought.

I never said I was a good blogger. I'll have to learn to keep up. But, in my defense. . . .we did do 9 shows in 5 days (when you include record stores and radio). And, we have't had cell service at all for about a thousand miles. I may try to get caught up, so check back. For now let me tell you about the last 24 hours. okay . . . . we have been driving. That's pretty much it. Yesterday morning we left evergreen at 8am headed west for radio interview/performances in Aspen and Carbondale. In Carbondale during the show we mentioned that our old bass player, Brett Nelson, lived somewhere in earshot of the station. As it turned out everyone there knew brett, but they didn't know he was ever in a band. It was an incredible small world scenario. After the show we fielded some phone calls from people who heard the show and wanted some more information. Including someone who was listening online from Portland, OR. (which made me realize that any of you who are interested could have tuned in and may be able to tune into future radio things). We then stopped at City Market and hightailed it over to Brett's house for a little get together. It was great seeing Brett and his wife nicki. Reminicing about old road stories and us telling him new ones. He loves living and working in the mountains and is enjoying listening and playing music. We enjoyed some good food and conversation with some old friends and new friends and then hit the road. . . . and we hit it hard. We are just arriving in Santa Cruz. CA after nearly 24 hours of constant driving across one of the most desolete roads I have ever been on. Constant driving except for fuel and one magical stop. . . . Half way through the toquima mountains we searched out some ceremonial hot springs that we had heard about. It was off the beaten path. And it was a great way to soak away some aches and pains of contant motion. A hole in the the desert with boling hot water. Magical and theraputic. Check out the pictures.
