California Tour with Marcia Ball

What an amazing tour! Marcia and I have been friends for a long time but you really get to know people when you spend a bunch of time in a car together or share hotel rooms with them. She is so down to earth, cool & easy going! I already knew that but it's confirmed extra double now! 
The shows were amazing! Superior venues, great audiences, first class treatment from a top notch staff at every venue. We were treated so well! Thank you Freight & Salvage/Berkeley, City Winery/Napa, The Palms Playhouse/Winters! Thank you KPIG and The Krush KRSH for having me the radio! Ice cream Monday with Bill Bowker at The Krush was a blast! It was wonderful sitting in with Jenny Kerr & Phil Milner in San Francisco & staying the night with them in Jenny's lovely SF home! Cool seeing my friends whom I lovingly refer to as my Arkansas cuz'ns Blythe & Julie. I loved seeing Bryan Beck & The Fabulous Judy in Napa! I loved watching them dance to Marcia Ball!  My friends Donny & Lynn came to the show in Napa also. I got to stay with them a couple of days later and sit in on a blues jam hosted by Donny w/ featured guest Terry Hanke. One of the best surprises was a little gig that popped up last minute in Hyampom, CA. I took the gig without many details because a friend of mind was hooking it up. I just went on faith. It was a good move on my part! First of all, the drive was a drive if a lifetime! So amazingly incredibly beautiful. OMG!!!!!!!!! I had NO IDEA!!! Wow! Wow! Wow! Crazy beautiful! The people in Hyampom turned out for my show! I didn't see many houses so these folks must've come from miles around. Very nice folks. A lot of young, soft spoken, intelligent men! I met several from Texas! 
I want to go back! I LOVED IT THERE and not just because of all the young, polite, intelligent men- although that is a bonus! LOL! Just kidding!

Yay California, I love you!
