the curse of canada.


we had such great plans for all of canada, but once the first domino falls, they all gotta go ! vancouver had a fit over the fact we ask the audience to sit on the stage with us and declared "absolutely no sitting allowed" and we did everything to push it through, but it fizzled into thin air, next the calgary [[jazz]] fest took up every all ages venue within a billion miles, and finally during the previous week at the club in winnipeg band members were beatin' up outside, somebody had been shot and the club closed it's doors. well, we still got regina, the only problem, after all the cancellations, we were left with a three days of straight driving, after all those wide open flat lands and little sleep, left my brain fried and my memory suffered, i dropped chords and lyrics like marbles.

so now, it's on to the spiritual home of the "bright eyes" and "about schmidt", omaha, nebraska. i have big hopes for this one, last time, we played ok, then i told the audience we were apart of a merger that included saddle creek records, burger king and myself. we were told some saddle creek people there and they weren't too happy, but the audience was incredible, better than we were, so, this time i'd like to give 'em some of the good stuff. ...we'll see talk to you soon.
