We drove from Denver, CO to Omaha, NE yesterday. It was a long drive, but I'm starting to get used to it.

The drum set that I'm playing on is made of all vintage Slingerland drums and Zildjian cymbals. The bass drum is from the 1920's, the floor tom is from the 1930's, the snare is from the 1950's and the cymbals are from the 1910's.

So far in the trip the four of us (Glenn, Solomon, Kevin and me) have been traveling and hiring local musicians for each gig. We picked up bassist Steve Pikal for this gig and he'll be traveling with us for the next three gigs. Steve is the best bassist I've ever played with and last night was the best the group has played yet. I'm looking forward to the three other gigs with Steve. We also got a local reed player for just Omaha, he was a real nice guy but isn't traveling with us.

Omaha treated us very well. They gave us homemade soup, free drinks, they had a green room for us to hang out in and they put us up in the Quality Inn for the night. The hotel was especially nice because the drive to Ohio City is a little less than five hours so we got to sleep in.
Joke of the Day

How can you tell if a stage is level?
