Thanks to Alistair Calder for

January 22, 2002

Thanks to Alistair Calder for helping me set up this little journal section of the website. Frank DiSalvo & I have been taking care of things for awhile and now Alistair is helping out.

The gigs in Calgary at One Yellow Rabbit went so well I almost exploded. It was so great to bring the songs from "Giddy Up" to life in the form that they were intended. The solo acoustic thing, although intimate, doesn't get one off in the same way. We got better and better with each night and I know someone was taping the shows. Hopefully, excerpts will be leaked to you folks without me knowing. You all know that I wouldn't stand for that! (Especially if I didn't get a copy).

I'll be in LA writing with Jesse Valenzuela and David Gamson for a bit and I hope you Vancouverites will welcome me back at the Railway club on Feb 6 when I open for Rich Hope with just my guitar.
