We
are on the road to Lansing from Boulder to stay a couple of
nights at our good friends Greg and Roberta. Can't wait
to catch up with them and rest up before we start on Wednesday
for 12 in a row. Whew. It was a pretty uneventful drive through
the Great Plains State of Kansas. Lots of rolling hills with
crops and cows as far as the eye can see.
Up at 7 am on Monday and off for a run. Not used to the humidity
and hills here in Kansas but did the best I could. I like
to get some exercise whenever I can and when I feel up to
it, as we spend a lot of time sitting during a tour. Had a
wonderful day of relaxation with visiting, practicing, and
reading. Topped the evening off with pizza and by watching
the Home Run Derby in Anaheim at the All Star Games. I like
baseball. David Ortiz or 'Big Poppy' won the slug fest. He
started out slow but finished real strong with 13 and 11 in
his final rounds. Off to bed.
Up around 6:30 am. Tuesday morning. Everyone is still sleeping.
Quietly made a cup of coffee and came back to my room to catch
up on email and practice (no amp). I am working on some jazz
heads like 'Night in Tunisia' which helps keep my reading
skills sharp. We have band rehearsal at 2 pm where we work
on some of Laurie's new originals and to brush up on
some others that we need to go over. We are always striving
to improve our shows.
Roberta makes a great meal of pot roast, baked potatoes, corn
and carrots. She follows it up with homemade ice cream. We
watch a music video featuring Jimmy Paige, the Edge, and Jack
White that dealt with each of these guitarist's careers.
It was called "It May Get Too Loud" and was pretty
cool. It covered three generations of guitarists and how they
came to where they are today. I finished the evening off by
watching the All Star game with Greg. What a very relaxing
time we had. Thanks, Roberta and Greg. You guys are the best.
