Hey Everyone

A very BIG thank you to all who came to the shows a few days ago in NY. I loved all 5 shows, it was a musical marathon. I did 45 min shows in each Borough. I started the day in Staten Island at the Jacques Marchairs Museum of Tibetan Art, Me and my gang were all so exited when we where driving to Staten Island, all wondering how the day would turn out.. so it was great to go into the Museum and see all that Tibetan Art. We all knew when we walked in there it was going to be great, we all calmed down.. Man, that place was so peaceful and beautiful. If your ever in NY and want peace of mind go down there and chill out, it..s amazing. Then we went up to Queens and played at Silent Barn, it was a special place, I think 5 or 6 people live there, like a socialistic commune. I used to live in a similar space when I was in London, I felt right at home. It was the hottest day of the summer in NY (so far), I sweat when I play the guitar and scream but in Queens I must have broken a record.

In the Bronx I played at the Bronx river art museum. Jose, the guy running the place, was very friendly, they had snacks and stuff, good stuff. By then I..d drunk 6 liters of water, I..ll have to admit all that sun and singing was getting to my head, making me feel weird in a good way. I was turning into a music junky, could not wait until the next one. We went to Manhattan and had an hour to kill. We got there early and it made me all itchy - i just wanted to pick up that guitar and play. There we played at the City Winery, it was the only kind of normal bar we played in on this funny tour..  a huge place. All went well.. I thought we had to run down to Brooklyn but we met so many friends in Manhattan we got a little bit delayed.. but that was okey.. we made it on time to Brooklyn to Pete..s Candy Store, the place  was like a pocket theater. 

It got packed, lot..s of icelandic folks which was great.. they helped me out singing some of the songs, great way to end the day in few singalongs.  I was waiting all day for my voice to disappear.. cause I..d scream like a pig at all the shows, but it was still there when I finished the marathon, maybe a bit rough around the edges but still there. 

The best thing with these gig..s was working with amnesty International. We got them to come along to all the gig..s and helped them promoting their campaign for the immediate release of Aung San Suu Kyi. I did a song called the Animal on my last album Mugiboogie. I made the song after reading the amnesty 2007 year report... I played that song at all the show exept the last one..my head was playing tricks on me.. I thought I had played it.. but then I was told I forgot.. We were selling a poster at the gig..s to support Amnesty, ohh it was an honor for me to work with them, I hope this is just the beginning of our relationship.click here on the link.. You can go here and take action right now,.  Every one of you counts, please check it out and fill out a simple form and take part changing the world to a better place.  

I want to Thank Amnesty, Jerrod and the team at Gold Mountain for putting this together. Icelandair for the ticket and Aneels grandma for lending us her car..Also, I would like to thank Scott for coming out and filming the whole event.. Please check out his movie www.walkingonmyfingertips.com ..I Would also like to thank and a big kiss to Runa for coming along and sing at some of the shows with me. 

all the best

Mugison

Please check back within the next few weeks for footage of the day.
