2019 has been a great year!

We had 39 gigs in 6 states, mostly in Virginia, of course, but also in Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, and North Carolina.

Grinchin' it up on Christmas Eve by making a live video in the living room...

Our good friend Jolie jumped up on the (very bouncy) stage to sing some songs with us at the Goochland Rotary Oktoberfest.

Lovely evening at Wilderness Run Vineyards.

We play some pretty sweet places. Virginia's state parks have been especially good to us.

We woke up in Sturbridge. Although the 45-minute drive seemed SO hard the night before, when we were really tired after our gig and a late dinner, in the morning we were thankful to wake up there. I did my…

The morning was rainy, perfect for teleworking. But I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Kim did much better. We stayed with the Peters till early afternoon, then said our goodbyes.

The greatest thing about Sam's house is that it overlooks this lovely pond. The boat dock has seen better days, but I like its jaunty stance.

In the early part of the day, Dacey and I tooled around on our bikes. We went down to the Campgrounds, which is not actually a campground but a cluster of very small, charming "gingerbread houses" where people actually…

I woke up to bird song, which is one of the best things in the world.

Before leaving Vermont, we squeezed in a hike on Deer Leap Trail, then had lunch at the restaurant at the trailhead.

We got one practice in with Tom, our drummer friend, in his barn.

We had another free day for relaxing. Chris took us on a short but sweet hike to Thundering Falls.

We popped into the office of the Rutland Herald (Vermont) today to record a podcast, on the way to our show at the Wild Fern tonight. The podcast features an interview and a couple songs played live and unplugged. Thanks…

No gig today, so we were free to hike. The place we planned to go was inaccessible; too many people and they'd already closed it to any more parking! But we managed to find another spot with access to the…

We stopped into a great coffee/tea shop for breakfast, setting the bar pretty high for the rest of the tour!

We drove up to Easton, PA and had a little time to explore before our afternoon show.

All packed and ready to go...

We got dinner at an Irish pub in Towson, Maryland, and got a little carried away with the selfies.

Last night, I performed with Suzie and the G-Tones at Capital Ale House, for another Fleetwood Mac tribute show. Thanks to Marie for this picture, and to everyone who came out! It was a great way to spend the last…

We spent Father's Day afternoon playing at James River Winery.

Fun times at Kindred Spirits with our rabble-rousing friends last night. There was even choreography!

After a leisurely morning and delicious home-cooked breakfast, we went on a little tour of parts of the Eastern Shore with Dot and Richard, our hosts for the weekend.

It was pouring down rain when we left Richmond mid-afternoon. It did not get any better as we progressed along the road.

We field-tested our new tent for the first time at the 2019 About Time Music Festival last night, at Ed Allen's Campgrounds & Cottages. Got a nice spot far enough from the action to have some peace and quiet, but…

This was one of those days when you leave at 9 o'clock in the morning to get to a gig. No, really.
