Miles and miles to go...

I performed at the Village Inn in Gambier, Ohio on Friday. What a terrific venue and crowd. I had some minor gear trouble before the gig. My effects board became mangled somehow. Currently, it is sitting in an untidy heap on the dining room table. I'll get to it soon.

I've decided to forego the Grammy's this evening. The only bit I caught was Amy Winehouse winning best new artist. Good for her! I've been feeling a little icky today. I actually got on the roof of my house in the 50 mph wind to fix a turbine that had come loose. Not my finest hour. So now I think I'm paying the price by feeling just a little achy.

I'm doing a lot of travelling this week. Thursday, Valentine's day, I fly to New York to perform at the Living Room with my good friend Megan Palmer and then the next day travel to Washington, D.C. for a show at Phase One.

I'm excited in a way that borders on nervousness. Not so much about performing at these great venues, but rather the fact that I have a tightly choreographed travel "two-step" that I have to do that actually involves, planes, trains and automobiles in exactly that order! I shouldn't be worried about it. That's my mother in me.

Dinner: Black bean burger with salad
Listening: I can hear Tina Turner upstairs belting out "Whats Love Got To Do With It"
