Tumbleweed Tour

At the Blackbird Buvette Albuquerque     Alas, the Tumbleweed Tour came to an end Saturday at the Blackbird Buvette in Albuquerque. Me and Brian- aka the Titanic Duo- concluded our no holds barred (or was it no chords barred?) swath through Texas and New Mexcio. We will try to reconvene down the road for more shows and hijinks. Thanks again to Brian for letting me open. Thing that really stood out about Albuquerque was cops- cops in cars, cops on bicycles, cops on foot, cops in helicopters. Mainly cops dealing with homeless people whose only crime seemed to be that they were homeless.

     So in honor of the Albuquerque Police Department I did “I Just Want You to Know”, with the lines 'There are millions and millions thinking this is so great/ That we all live in a military state', 'Well the CIA and the Constitution/ more money for the rich is the best solution/ Profit is god and the Pledge of Allegiance/ War on the poor with a savage vengeance'.After the show in Albuquerque Brian and Rory and I drove back to Panhandle Texas where their Jeep's brakelines were being fixed. I'm now in Colorado and having a fabulous time

     Other highlights are detailed on our Facebook page. Biggest was getting to play at the Woody Guthrie Folk Music Center in Tampa (see blog entry below). The raucous drunk sing along to Dopesmokers at the Banter Cafe in Denton Texas was another. And getting to play the College Street Pub in downtown Waxahachie, Brian's hometown. I played a 45 minute intermission for Brian's mega set. We got free beers! Like lots! And I got to serenade the lovely Sue! (Brian's grandma). And of course kickin' back with some Shiner Bocks in Denton Texas with Rory and the artist formerly and currently known as Brian. 

     But there's nothing like the thrill of hitting the Colorado state line and being able to walk into a dispensary and legally purchase weed. Blind Uncle Harry loves Colorado! Greatest state in the Union!
