We’re in Mt Shasta, CA, recording the beginning of our next album, at RadioStar studios with world class producer Sylvia Massy. We’ve turned a page this year. In the last 2 years, as I wrote before, we toured in our 6-passenger Durango SUV through 32 states in 2 countries (USA & Canada), performing over 200
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
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
We crested the mountain highway pass, heading deeper into British Columbia wilderness, and found ourselves driving right into a blizzard. We had just left a fine, crisp Vancouver late-April morning; where did this blizzard come from? Day 101. We were going to Kelowna, BC, the apex of our 6 month West Coast tour begun in
Here’s one simple, powerful exercise we do every time we get in the Durango to drive to a new city. We go around our circle and simply say what we are grateful for. Everything and anything comes up – the delicious organic chocolate chip cookie I just ate; the wondrously green hills whizzing by breathtaking
Tonight was just awesome. We performed tonight with Byron Katie at her “School for The Work” in Los Angeles. We actually diverted our tour in San Francisco (where we were headed farther north) to come to LA yesterday, Monday, to create this experience for ourselves and Katie and the 300 people from all over the
