It's hot!
6/23/2010 - Day 4
Day 4 we are painting. It rained a bunch, never for long, but it always seems menacing. Also Mr Okra drove by. Perhaps his new truck has extended is range of operations, "I have strawberries, I have melon..." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz2K8YPSMy8
6/20/2010 - Made it!
We've reached New Orleans. Mid-City is our new home.  Now we paint. Furniture (and piano) arrives next week.  Yes, It's hot.
5/20/2010 - Tonight at Rodeo, Moving to New Orleans...
It’s a bit late to promote a gig for tonight. but most of you have blackberry’s and smart phones these days. (Me, I’m happy with my 5 year old samsung. It’s got T9!). So perhaps I can persuade you to change barstools.

‘Why so late? well things rang late, I’ve spent the day gathering boxes from friends and the Coke Bottling Plant in Maspeth (sorry Pepsi Folks, you’ll get your turn). Why? Cause my girl and I are moving. Moving to New Orleans.

I’ve had many a fan (and musician) say they thought I was from New Orleans, and I figure that is the highest compliment I could get. But no, I’m not from there. I’ve visited a lot but I’ve never lived there more then a month at a time. I just fell in love with the music.

So I’ve finally succumbed to her gravity. I’m really thankful that my girl Rachael, who is doing quite well here, is joining me on this journey.

So yes, I’m excited. but also sad. As far as cool towns go, NYC is hard to beat. Luckily, we have JetBlue for future reunions.

I’m at Rodeo Bar tonight, thursday May 20. Joining me tonight is Jon Ellis, Dave Phelps, Louie Appel and Matt Lindsey

We move in mid June.
