'Toon Town. Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It's a real music town, and has been for a long time. I wasn't playing Bud's on Broadway tonight- instead I was doing a house concert at my pal Gord MacAulay's place. As always here, many blues friends from near and far attended. I sure do appreciate the support! It's really great to visit with my Blues Society friends and hang out a little.
Here's tonight's lucky winner of the National Steel "Got Lucky" 13 Blues Tour jacket. Genuine white stripe satin tour jacket. Genuine. Johnny Winter has one just like it.
Cold here today. Ice in the puddles, frost on the glass. I did laundry and email. The back end of this tour is pretty ratty this year, so it's a daily concern to try and book those gigs to carry me back across the continent. I'm usually booked up a year in advance, but last year's crash had a ripple effect, so my December is not tight at all. Too much down time. Too cold on the prairie. Too much snow in the mountains. There's lots of highway ahead yet, and more adventures on this year's road. Thanks, Saskatchewan (well, NOT Regina) for charging the batteries and moving me along. Much, much appreciated. By the way, the Saskatoon Blues Society is MY blues society. Can I join more than one? There are good ones and fine people from coast to coast helping the blues along. If you haven't already- join your local blues society, and help them help keep the blues alive!
