Two days after thanksgiving, my almost 5 month old son woke up and immediately put his arms up to reach for my face. He had done lots of practice reaching, but it always felt more like a walk-through, and this time was for real. From that morning on, it was like riding a bike, and all of a sudden he was coasting downhill in the breeze. No more brow furrowing concentration, just the fun of reaching out for something new to explore. I can relate to this exhilaration. One day you wake up and realize, "Oh yeah, I can do this. " It was like that for me on this fall tour, like coasting downhill. With no worries about chords and cables and capos, I was just able to walk out and enjoy playing music with the guys. Maybe it was enhanced this time around by the contrasts of motherhood? Either way it's a great feeling to know that I'm still able to do both. I don't ever want to take for granted that I have the two best full time jobs anyone could wish for. So, thank you all for coming out to the shows, and for being part of this tour.

We're back home now writing, recording, and planning for 2008...a duet record (EP) with Derek, another solo project, and a few collaborative tours to boot. Thanks again for a great year and for all your support. Have a Merry Christmas!

Best,
Sandra
