Chewing the Haggis:Mid chew up there of a fine haggis pie. We just spent a load of time in lovely Scotland. Our Paris show was cancelled so we heading north of Glasgow for a few days. True holiday like. Add to that all the time in Berlin and this has been a relaxed pace to say the least.
About to soundcheck here now in Manchester and seemingly in the home stretch now.
I will be back home in less than a week and then I prepare for lots of big change coming down the line. Lisa and I are moving out of the city late next month and we also are adding a young one to the world.
It is all very very exciting and thrilling for us.
So away we go into new adventures.
In Short:New photo's up in the photo section from tour.
New shows will be up anyday. I am playing three festivals this summer. One close to home and two further from there.
Nice Blog mention

No Paris Pour Moi:
Some bad news, the Paris show has been cancelled and thus we will miss our lovely day off in this great city that has mostly eluded me over my life.
On the good side though, check out this boxing kangeroo:

The Double Dutch:Ok, here we are in Holland and I am not even sure when I wrote last, but these things have happened:
1. I got either food poisoning or the stomach flu on the first day of tour. It was lovely, let me tell you. Four people, no now five, have had this on this tour. The bus of infection will soon be right and rid of it though, that is the promise.
2. Berlin, Berlin, Berlin, Berlin: What a city, what a great time, what a great couple of days. Too much spending though.
3. Euro 2008: With this lovely European Cup right now, we have been in Euro cities during games and during times where their home countries are playing. It is amazing to be around it.
4. So many bicycles: OK Canada, get out of your cars and get on the two wheeler's. I could barely walk across the street with all the bicycles here in Holland.
5. Bless you Jeremy Gara: Young Jeremy Gara (just 30 this month) came all the over yonder here and whammo, we got a duo. We had a one night trio when Howe Gelb joined us in Aarhus, but the Youro Duo has been such a treat for me.
So to sumarize, I got sick, I felt better, I saw Berlin, We played some songs.
