Hi everyone,

Just about to get in the car for a nice easy drive from San Diego to Austin (ha!). Bert Lams and I are starting our southwest tour there on Sunday and then spending the next three weeks heading through spots in TX, CO, OK, MO, KS, NM, AZ and CA. This will be the first time we've taken our duo to many of these spots, and actually it's been awhile since I've been to many of them myself. So.. hope those of you in the area(s) can join us! As usual for us, most of the shows are house concerts, which simply means you just need to get in touch with the host beforehand to make a reservation and get directions.

Bert is best known of course as one of the guitarists in The California Guitar Trio. This will be about our eleventh (12th?) tour together in the US. At the close of it, we'll be spending about a week here working on an album together. With a little luck and just a little more inspiration, we may actually finish tracking for it! We'll see... in the meantime, here come the details:

Great news!!
Whats great about it is you'll be here after I get back from The Stick Seminar at Interlocken I'll be at the Catus Cafe Show for sure
My first Seminar and I thought I was going to miss your gig's because I'd be out of town
Now I'll be just as excited to get back to austin ( but not the heat 100+ )

Maybe I'll join you at the show, Tom. It would be cool to hear Tom and Bert doing their thing. I have to check to see if I'm booked on that date. Randy, how about it?
