Well, while Norma is relaxing here in New Bern, I've been running around the country playing music and hanging out with my friends. In early May, I flew to Phoenix and played shows in Mexico, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada. I then flew back to Illinois to visit friends and family and to play a couple more shows there. I got back to the boat on May 29th.

In a week or so, I'll be embarking on another tour through Pennsylvania, New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Maine. In July, August and September, I plan to revisit the Midwest and West Coast. I may start moving Norma south before these trips to prepare for heading back to Key West for Meeting of the Minds in November.

Work, Work, Work.... Here's hoping for a quiet Tropical Storm Season!
