It seems that when i was a young man there was no fear and the streets seemed empty, today its an upside down World a tumble of emotions. I remember the milkman being the only person who left our street busy, today I’m stuffed. New York was always busy but on this visit it seems […]
The final week 10 days came with much the same weight as before the travel the lack of sleep the radio shows, I’m to sure they sell tickets but they light up eyes. Radio shows these days have the video bolt on, a bloke with a camera and then its all streamed on the web, […]
Driving from Red Bank NJ to Manhattan i was filled with excitement as the horizon of the city came into view, its magical lights shimmering ahead. The end of the tour was coming into view, although there is still much to do and 10 more shows. Behind me the Pittsburg and Alexandra shows, they flit […]
Behind my hotel the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, I’m not sure i ever want to be inducted into a place like that, its not something that tickles me, the whole fame and Rock and Roll thing is not something i feel, the folk hall of fame maybe. So three nights here in the […]
A really lovely evening in a small but warm venue in a small but warm town. I was dead on my feet but somehow managed to stay upright at all chord changes. Just. Afterwards we signed more albums than any other show, it was a long line of people at the merch stand, and nice […]

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 […]
