It’s Monday morning here in Huntsville. The last concert for this leg is this evening. Thursday & Friday saw us in Savannah & Augusta respectively. In Savannah we played historic Christ Church. Check out their website. Names like George Washington, John Wesley, Juliet Gordon Lowe are prominent in their history. It’s always intimidating bringing a […]
A few more pics from St. Augustine
You’ll notice some red & blue in the background in these. I’ve been adding some improvised backlight at some concerts. It’s tough, partly because there’s only so much time in the day to get such things done. But, there’s also a fine line between adding a tasteful, appropriate design element to the concert or getting […]
More on St. Augustine
We travel a lot, so people often comment about how great it must be to see so many different places. The truth is we don’t often see much. We meet great people all over, but mostly we see the bus, the hotel & the church. There are exceptions though. We spent a few days in […]
A great crew….
Last night in St. Augustine we had a great crew of students from Flagler College. Joe had a chance to go out and spend some time with them after the concert and they sent a real nice thank you note by email. One of the biggest challenges of touring in non traditional venues is getting […]
Winter Park on to St. Augustine
We had a great concert in Winter Park last night. The concert was sponsored by the San Pedro retreat center and they did a great job. Probably the hardest thing all day was getting the truck & bus to the church without incuring too much tree damage. It was a pretty full house of around […]

Despite some difficulties (read Joe’s post below) […]
Joe Hand on our Tampa area concert
welcome to St. Petersburg, FL. Palm trees are swaying outside my window. We had a really long travel day today from Tampa…15 miles.but with our detours to various guitar stores and of course, WALMART, it took about 3 hours.While John Michael showed INCREDIBLE restraint, Tom Booth did some damage. A 1960 Gibson Melody Maker. He […]
Booth on his inability to blog reliably…..
Sister and Brothers,I am in the Ozark – mountains, that is. My cell has never worked here(T-Mobile), it still doesn’t. We are rehearsing today and tomorrow,then driving for 2 days in a bus to Florida for the 1st gig. Life “onthe road” is alot of things, but glorious is NOT one of them. By theway, […]
