So, you will arrive in Chico on Jan 11? or 12? Let me know...
some of the previous venues have changed or moved, and we have
a folk society meeting and or jam/party around then, so i will
put together something...at least a ride...and possibly a meal!

call me...

And, when in Grand Junction, Frank? I still don't have any real contacts, but could have a meal with you, at least. Not sure of anything else.

The ride through the Rockies, esp. Glenwood Canyon, is beautiful this time of year! I hope you get time to enjoy the scenery.

Let me know your Northern California itinerary, Frank. Chico is only a hundred miles from my home near Auburn, California. Probably a better chance for a house concert at Chico, though.

if we had more notice on this,
we could have alerted the house concert
circle..there is one fellow in Davis
near Sacramento who holds them regularly

but one house concert in the bay area is
booked a year in advance, and they do not
do anything on quick notice.

can you get on and off the train at will
or is it all pre planned?

What fun, Frank! I hope you have a memorable and lucrative trip.

We don't have a railroad in Juneau but with a little more notice maybe we could have built one. :)
