THE BITTER CHILL

There's a line in the Jerry Jeff song "Life On The Road" that says "Don't go up North in the Spring and Fall." I think he's been to Cleveland OH in late February. We're at the House of Blues here tonight. Last time we were here John Eddie opened for us. Tonight should be fun.

Tomorrow we play Petoskey MI at a casino. I just checked the weather. It's 13 degrees there right now. And no, folks, it's not Celsius. The high tomorrow is 22 and the low is 7. Then on to Prior Lake, MN where it's no better. We're surely in for a cold one this weekend. It's that kind of cold that makes your knuckles hurt, your lips chapped and your body ache. And to top it all off, I think I'm coming down with something. Maybe it's all in my head since everyone else has had it.

For the last few hours in the production office I kept feeling like someone was staring at me. It was only after I'd been in here for about 5 hours that I noticed this...




Yeah, that's painted on the wall. Some kind of WWII pilot guy. It's kind of haunting sitting here and feeling his eyes on you the whole time. You don't expect to find that in the backstage of a House of Blues.
