Pin back your ears for a special announcement! (Page 5 of 9)

My on board techie friend Jane figured it out George and Stu confirmed- that boanamassabluesrock address is going down with the fansite, so no longer works.  I'll update my profile. Safe travels and I e-mailed Cathy.

I"ve just found this video of Joe doing Mountain Time at the show where I first saw him, got totally knocked over, and as a result set off on the course that has eventually brought me to tomorrow's plane.

Thanks Joe, BIG thanks!

Sunday

Dear Diary,

The first full day of my big American adventure started a lot earlier than I could have imagined after only five hours sleep. Literally everything around me, company, sights, sounds, smells, and music was all so totally different to my 'normal' life that my excitement overcame the need for sleep.

We attended an afternoon extended family and friends barbecue at the river house (to which we were ferried over the Susquehanna river) where I had to subject myself to all sorts of probing questions and pagan initiation rituals. They even mentioned 'concrete boots' and 'river' at one point. Luckily, I think I passed inspection and was accepted into the fold, though the number of hillbilly accents around me was a bit worrying.

Spent the evening at home doing nothing much other than simply having fun with everything, when we got coinkydinked. We were just watching a Joe tape that Michael had sent Cathy quite late on when the phone went - obviously, it was Michael, who had been sitting at home watching a Joe tape of a Maryland show, which made him decide to call at that moment. I had a nice talk with him too, our first direct contact

Monday

Dear Diary,

Spent a quiet Memorial Day at home, enjoying the warmth of the sun with Cathy and Jimmy, her roomie, who later treated us to some very fine live guitar playing. I really can't put into words the enormity of my state of gobsmackedness (I lay claim to this new word, having just invented it) at everything around me - the weather, the geography of the area, the particular surroundings of Cathy's house, the general good vibe all around me and down the phone line.

I still pinch myself sometimes.

I've not turned George into a toad yet, nor placed concrete shoes on him for a trip to the river, so, I guess you can say all is well. The next planned activity will be a trip to Hagerstown on Thursday to see Albert Cummings. Today we will go to the grocery store where I can watch George's jaw hit the floor because of all the options. I know, it's not nice to tease!!!    Cathy

Tuesday

Dear Diary,

Today's weather was the kind that we never, ever get in Europe - gray, overcast, yet still really hot and humid. The promised storms never materialized and we even had some sun late in the afternoon. My hostess with the mostest took me the mall, to the "grocery store" (supermarket) and to Best Buy, where I acquired Sloe Gin, You and Me, the complete Bruce video anthology 1978-2000 on dvd as well as a dvd of the divine Ms. Raitt at Montreux 1977 all for the price of what the two cds would have cost me at home. Now that's what I call shopping. I also got treated to a 'forbidden chocolate' milkshake which was, well, very chocolaty indeed. '

I discovered the wonders of the hot tub last night - just one more item to add to my list of 'firsts' on this marvelous holiday. It's quite incredible to lie immersed in hot water outdoors at night, looking up at the sky and playing spot the constellation. Mind you, my suspicions were aroused when I started finding bits of toads, newts eyes, dragon scales and hemlock root floating by.

You are GOING to be so SPOILED!
