The long drive came to an end and i was hit by a head cold as i stumbled into my room in Minneapolis. I stayed in my room as long as i could to try and rest the journey behind me and the cold that was sapping my energy. The two shows at the Cedar […]
Im really only writing this to keep from falling asleep, we have been on the road now for 8 hours, John is still driving, Michael is asleep. I have been deep into Elvis’s book, his voice keeping me company as we pass Salt Lake City and lesser known towns up in the mountains. Its dark […]
Woke up after a broken nights sleep, too hot, too cold, not enough covers, too many. John got on the bus and the part is on its way. I went into the Casino it was 9am, to find it busy with people on the slots, beers being sipped and the Starbucks empty. A man in […]
Yes a night in Elko Nevada is on the cards, so we pull up at the Casino and the drives get some sleep before heading off for the spare part at first light. Me I’m on the bus, but first some food in the Casino. Inside some rustic looking people stand and sit at the […]
The wheels on the bus seem not to want to go round and around we have now been by the side of the road for five hours. Im tired and hungry and my patients is thin on top. I want to sleep and eat and be there all at the same time, but its not […]

How could this be, the second night was completely different to the first night in such a great way, when Glenn and i oscillate we are like two valves in an old radio. We are getting there. The show is feeling right and our connection with the audience is reaching a sweet spot. Our buses […]
If you have ever tried to sleep on a horse you will know what its like to sleep in the back of a tour bus, the bed is above the axel and next to the engine, its some ride. Im lucky beyond belief to have this luxury home on wheels, a star bus, but there […]
Radio KCRW has long been a favourite of mine, back when we recorded the Play album in LA i had my ear glued to its unique and eclectic range of music. With the internet i can stream it all day long at home back on the ranch. Today we played 8 songs for them and […]
