It was a great Getaway. In addition to all the regulars there were three of my very favorite Maniacs there. Will brown, Jim Loney and Kat Logan. Excellent entertainers on their own and when combined in Meteora, just fabulous. It really pleased me to see them blend in so well in such a new venue.

I got over served again on Friday evening and paid for it dearly on Saturday. Even on Sunday I was so hung over I was not able to play the guitar for shaking like a dog passing pine cones. Still, it was worth it picking with Amos. It was sorta like being sea sick; first I was afraid I was going to die, then I was afraid I wasn't.

The NY Pike was a trial, bumper to bumper for miles and miles. We finally escaped to I- 295 for a while, then that was bunged up just as bad. We finally got back on the NJ pike and I missed the turn for the Garden State Parkway and we ended up buying the George Washington Bridge.
Got home about 11 pm with both eyes in the same socket; died for 7 hours.
I told myself that this is probably my last Getaway, but, the death threats may make me change my mind.

To all you wonderful folks who approve of what Jacqui and I are doing these days, thank you so much. My head is still living in the past when I had a singing voice, that growling out the words to songs that I used to sing is hard for me to settle for. NO! I'm not fishing!
