Laurie’s the best. She got up earlier and went in search of
a Starbuck’s (god love her!) because the coffee at this hotel is the worst
sludge I’ve ever had!
....
So far, the tour has been great. It’s kind of felt like a
tour/vacation. We got here late on Tuesday night, so that I could do an early
radio performance on Wednesday. Getting up that morning was rough, but we
pulled it together and I ended up doing 3 songs on the radio, so it was worth
it.
....
After the radio gig, though, there was nothing else on the
books that day, so we made the best of it…we played tennis for a couple hours,
ran up the side of a mountain, and then hit the pool. It could be a lot worse……J
And after an early dinner and a drive down the coast, we crashed.
....
Yesterday was more of a perfect scenario for me. I feel
lucky if you can get the best of both worlds, and we did. We played more
tennis, did the run again, laid by the pool for an hour, and then got ready and
head out to the gig to play with Heather Combs. Now THAT makes for a perfect
day.
....
I met Heather six years ago. We did a gig together in San
Francisco. I never forgot her. She has this really strong voice, great presence
and songs that rip right through you. She’s a great artist. So, when I found
out I was coming back, we reached out to her to see if she’d like to do a show
again. She said yes, and, last night was that night.
....
It was fun to catch up with her, see what the years have
brought to both of us, but hearing her play was my favorite. She’s got a way
with words in her songs that makes me want to rush home and write, too. I feel
so inspired after listening to her.
....
I’m playing in San Francisco tonight, and there’s a good
chance she’ll make an appearance. My fingers are crossed!
....
Now, I’m gonna go fall in love with this venti skim latte
that’s calling my name……life’s good
