These last 10 days were incredible. From Vienna to Bavaria and back down to the hills and valleys of quaint and majestic Austria. The highs and lows were much like a well spun yo-yo whose beginners wrist often has it teetering on almost losing its balance and momentum. But even a professional with more tricks can falter while trying new things. In the lows and awkward squiggles we had mishaps and misprints which included one concert being advertised on the wrong date, one advertised at the wrong ticket price (triple the actual cost!!), and two not advertised at all. Successes, smooth spins and wonderful surprises in these last days included: sold out shows, the various Schnapps' http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnapps I was convinced to try to alleviate my cough, the friends and VIPs whose presence make me feel like I have family on the road, the new song which I feel good about got performed ("Give My Heart A Home"), taking part in the hot 'n sweaty and relentless performance of a traditional Austrian band's gig (playing clarinet, trombone, trumpet, tuba, accordion...and now guitar too!) who play at a large wooden table facing each other while their audience feasts on an afternoon lamb meal, walking along the edges of the longest castle in Europe (Burghausen), running through spectacular Autumn leaves at the ... www.schoenbrunn.at/en palace in Vienna, and doing the kind of interviews where I learn something too. Thank you so much to Kennedy Music Promotions, AER, Taylor Guitars, Wildeschneider.de, Ron Putzi, Fortune Records, Bomi, Johannes Koch, Andreas Buder, Kevin Kennedy, Hans Kraus, and the players who gave my music so much color - David Sinclair, Martin Rose & Stefan Rapp, Rob Chernenko the webmaster, Andreas Buder (new street team leader), and Toolboxx & Alive Distribution!!!
