Not really Amergin. Tig is my personal aromatherapy masseuse and boy did I need it. The 'table' is the padded bed thingy that she puts her victims on!! She had a squaddie on Sunday so maybe there is a story.......

...I had a good one too. I watched Nathan bowl in the state tournament in Melbourne then I went to Cocoa Beach and jammed with Paul G., Willie, Norm, Kim, Patti, Al and lots of other folks new to me at Norm's wedding party and later at Koolbeanz. The musicians over there are such nice, welcoming folks. It was my first time to jam with Paul G and he really nails the beat! It was too short!!! Think I'll go to Topsail Beach next weekend and jam with my Pensacola buddy...

I had a pretty good one too. Spent the morning fooling around with my guitar — worked out a Big Bill Broonzy tune that I like — then went to a pub I like and listened to a good guitarist-harp player duo for a while. Left there a caught a little of Clinton's act — would have stayed longer, the music was great, but had to meet the Yorkshire Tornado and a couple of friends for dinner. Stuffed myself on Lebanese food and then went to the friends' house for drinks and a chew on the fat. Nice laid-back day. I could get addicted to those. Come one, retirement!

Yeah, I had fun on Saturday too, I signed up for motorbike training, didn't drop the bike during my assessment (did lose my favourite earring though, boo), went for a long ride with a mate, and a walk in the woods. Scrummy. Glad your day was as good as mine. LTS

Woke up feeling pretty good after my Friday night gig... trucked on down to my matinee and got poured rain all over! LOL!! Between the parking garage and the pub I got soaked... great fun...

Really liking the new Seagull that I've picked up... I now take the stage with 2 a series Folk duet II guitars... so nice... The pickup blows the doors off most places, so turned down is gentile but insistent...

Had a Catter drop in on Saturday even... Hadn't seen him in way too long... that was great fun mate!

while I was on my last set, coming up to 6 o'clock, I get a message delivered to me from the front guy of Celtic Cross... our gig that night, once though to be 9-1, has turned out to be 7-11... but because I can't get there that soon, they're happy to do 8-12...

So cool... I get my matinee done, pack up, have a quick pint and zoom... quick stop at home to grab sound board and other Celtic Cross necessities... and woooof! I'm away to Amherstberg...

When I finally found the Dalhousie Street grill, I was really disappointed that the weather was too lousy for us to play on the patio... the patio overlooks a great park, which in turn overlooks the river! I can't wait for our next gig out there... I've always loved playing "Lock Keeper" while lake freighters roll by in the night...

So into the D. st. Grill... nice place... kinda more like a restaurant than a pub... and not smoky at all even though it's a smoke friendly place... 5 songs in o the first set, I couldn't figure out why I was jonesin' so bad... no 2nd hand smoke!! LOL!!!! Had a great audience... laughed at all the bad jokes... sang and clapped all night... The owner served us plates of fish and chip so big I thought I'd been fished to death!! The last set was a little lazy... *urp*

So finished, paid and packed up by 12:30 or so... and back on the road... Mark and I played Leap Car though the 40 Km/H zones... 20 minutes later, I'm at my local and Len Wallace is lashin' 'em out like there's no going back! As my pint hits the table near the stage, He launches into Barrettes, and his range is such that -I- can hit that high Garnetesque harmony! Near the end of his show he played Reynard The Fox for me... Len's so cool...

So, home to bed eh.. ya right... Got home and after this night, I'm wired for sound... so on goes the TV... flick around a bit and find that Insomniac Theatre is running Crossroads, with Ralph Matchio... Not a great movie but there's blues in it so it's o.k. in my book... flippin the channels during commercials I hit FOLK GOLD! Austin City Limits is running the Tribute To Towns Van Zant show!

Needless to say, I didn't watch any more of Crossroads!

What a prefect folkie day!
