This time we are touring like we used to in the early nineties. We are driving ourselves in rented vans from Sante Fe, New Mexico to Agoura Hills in California, then Reno, Nevada and lastly Redwood City, California. Tonight we will stop in Barstow and tomorrow we will drive the rest of the way. We discover that the cargo van’s window seal is broken and our crew has to tape the window with lots of duct tape. Then one of the mini-vans develops door trouble and looking at the Chevy one can see that the doors barely fit the frame….ah, the adventure of rented vehicles…..

Rehearsals were a lot of fun and I like the sound of the new quartet. We are only scratching the surface of the new possibilities and that is exciting.
