hey everyone

I'm hanging out on a quick vacation in Tucson (one of my favorite
cities) and I'm getting ready to set sail again on the Cayamo Cruise!

last year was an amazing experience for me.  i left there so
inspired....i never really stopped going to shows until about 1 or 2 in
the morning every night and even then i would just go sit down at the
piano in the bar and play Beatles covers...

i ate hundreds of ice cream cones, swam in the ocean with my mom, and
played blackjack with Shawn Colvin (wow that got out of control!).  but
the best part was always the music -- running from one end of the ship
to the other trying not to miss a song from Emmylou, Lyle Lovett, John
Hiatt, the Shawns (Colvin and Mullins), Patty Griffin(!!!) and it goes
on and on and on...

the collaborating was really amazing too as everyone was sitting in
during each others sets...i even got to sing "Mary" with Patty Griffin
and Emmylou.....sigh

this year i expect to have even more fun.  the schedule is really cool
and the other performers are all really special artists...the amazing
Patty Griffin, Shawn Mullins, Lyle Lovett, Marc Broussard, my blackjack
partner Shawn Colvin, and of course especially my beloved Indigo Girls.
;-)

you can bet that everyone is gonna be playing together and shaking
things up again!

thanks to everyone for following me and the twins out to sea and an
extra special thanks to those who donated money to the Looking Out
Foundation in hopes of winning a cabin...the money we raised was way
more than expected and I'm truly touched by the overwhelming support LOF
has received from our fans in the last year.

can't wait until we're all sunburned!

And don't forget to add Kathleen Edwards to the amazing artists list! I'm just a wee bit jealous of those who will be on board.

I went last year but I am unable to be there this year. I wish I could be there hang out and just listen to everyone play. I loved it last year. I have to say I loved the 4AM Ice Cream cones after a long night of partying and listening to great music. Playing music in the elevators as well as watching and singing with you at the piano with about 50 others. It was great and I can't wait to see the pics from this year from my friend Laura. Have a great trip and once again I wish I could be there. There will always be next year. Thanks for sharing your experiences of last year. Love you and your music.

Way to go Brandi!! Way to get me more sad and depressed, not being able to jump aboard the Cayamo 09 cruise!!! Cayamo 08 was the cruise of a lifetime, but just cant make it for the 09 cruise!!
Tip to all you rookies on the 09 cruise!! Dont go to bed early!!! Brandi stays up late, as any 27ish kid would do!! As she said, playing poker with Shawn Colvin was a happening.. Go out, have a blast..Seven days of cruising with the best darned singer/songwriter in the world cant be beat....Im depressed!!!! Maine loves you Brandi...I am your biggest fan.
!!

Isn't it crazy how much you find yourself eating on a cruise?!
They make it too easy.
Have fun and I hope you get just as inspired as you did last year
(which I'm sure you will).


Bon Voyage!

I hope you are able to do the cruise again next year. Maybe then I'll have a job that allows me to take vacations. :) One of these days I hope to finally see you and Indigo Girls in the same place at the same time.
Have fun!
