Have been here for about a week...one of my favorite towns on the OR coast.
My friends JoAnn and Russ came up from Paso Robles, CA to celebrate my birthday with me .. it was three days of fun, music, food, drink and, did I mention fun? We even have photos of JoAnn performing the hula:)
Have been playing music with my "Brother from another mother", Michael Dane at the Sea Hag , the last four evenings. This man is wall to wall talent with a heart the size of Oahu! I am always honored to be asked to sit in with him. The Sea Hag is a wonderful restaurant / lounge owned by my friends Clary and Jerome Grant. If you get anywhere near, stop in for dinner and / or drinks. Top notch! Tell them I sent you:)
Received my new Ivan Guernsey dobro / reso guitar today .. my b'day present to me. All I can say is: Incredible! I am a happy camper.
Heading south to Winchester Bay on Thursday for Cool Coastal Nights, a great car show and fun-filled weekend with my great friends the Bartrams.
A pace like this would kill a normal man ... that heavens I am extremely immature for my age! LOLOL

Left Buellton yesterday morning and camped last night at Fernwood Camp on Big Sur with my friends from Borrego Springs, the Fletcher's. A lot of fun was had:) They meet rels and friends there every year at this time.
Long hot drive from San Francisco north thru the valley but nice up here in Willits. It is an old lumber town and just a cool place to hang before heading up into the redwoods.
Think I will play some dobro then hit the bunk:)

Here we go again .. this is the first leg of the 2010 Great PacNW roadtrip and boondoggle (SOLD OUT). Great trip so far.. a fairly easy run thru helLA and a good time seeing my buddy Charlie McCoy in Buell-vang. The beer and tequila got away with us a bit but "sum nam na me" as the Thai's say. (My own fault). LOL. Heading up to Morro Bay then up Big Sur. May camp there or go into Santa Cruz. More to follow:)
