We are on mini-tour in Northern California, staying in a beautiful rural community outside the small town of Winters about an hour West of Sacramento. We pulled up in our tour-Durango just after sunset, and a few hours later I’m simply overwhelmed with gratitude at the scrumptious vegetarian, wine-lubricated feast our lady hosts prepared for
As we go on our final break for 2010, I’m in absolute awe (almost wrote “ewe” … that pic just cracks me up!) of what we just accomplished. On January 14, 2010, the 6 of us set out from an unusually chilly Miami, FL, packed sardine-tight into an SUV truck hauling a 12-foot trailer
We are now in the midst of making the most significant leap of our career, at least since the initial individual leaps we each had to take to even get the Here II Here / Inner Voice project going. This is it. We’re now living in Los Angeles. 7 of us squished cozy into …
I just returned from the Byron Katie 9-day School for the Work. I’m not going to give The School away. It’s far more precious that you meet it directly yourself … and in that school you truly meet your Self more convincingly than in any other experience I’ve ever had. I know that may
What can be said about Burning Man? I’m not near enough the writer or poet … I’m but a brown hair protruding from a freckle on the belly of the black fly resting momentarily on the spectacles of the capable man who could even approach a satisfying description of the magic and wonder that is
“Man, during your concert … I wasn’t in prison.” —- Spoken by an inmate at Terminal Island Prison after Here II Here’s acoustic performance As we approached Terminal Island, I was oddly nervous. I normally get a bit nervous before most performances – concerned how many people would show up, will the sound system
Have you read this book? Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson. Riveting. I cried before I got even halfway through … and my most recent former girlfriend will insist I never cry. A true story about Greg, who, near death, takes the “wrong” path descending a Himalayan mountain; a “wrong” turn that changes
Last weekend, we performed 2 consecutive nights at “Harmony Festival”, perhaps northern California’s most important music festival all year. We had been hearing about it for months, and people kept telling me, “you’ve just GOTTA meet Debra Giusti, the founder of Harmony. She’ll love you guys!” Although Harmony Fest didn’t even know us 2
Our adorable Durango Tour Vehicle, parked beside a 4-ft bonsai tree ….. just kidding. We did something crazy powerful the other night while driving 8 hours from San Francisco to Ojai, CA. …. no, we didn’t lift a car off a trapped goat. This was even more powerful. We’ve been talking for over a year
“You can’t make $200,000 a year doing a $10 an hour job.” Carole King’s touring guitarist recently smacked me in the face with that idea. Pardon the name dropping, but it just makes the story so much more fun for me to tell. His name is Curtis, and he’s a beautiful human being. And its
