Santana Tour Report #2

Santa Barbara: we stay in the same little motel near the beach that we always stayed in… since 1991… some familiarity during these tours is very welcome… we know our way around this town pretty well, since we recorded 4 albums in Santa Barbara from Poets + Angels in 1990 to The Hours between Night + Day in 1993… we know the coffeehouses and we know the bike trails – on the this tour we carry 4 mountain bikes on our bus!
