Howdy Folks, it's 2am here and we've just got back from a night in Chicago seeing some of the Blues on offer.

As expected, this has been an eye opening experience. We haven't had much of a chance to blog but have no fear, we have gathered a stack of pics and vids and each of the boys have gathered their own moments to share, so look out for some travelogues over the next week or so.

We have one last day to see the sights and say our goodbyes, then it's back to sydney town and ....A gig at the Royal Hotel in Bondi. We'll be jetlagged, shattered and be there anyway for the last official gig of the tour.

I have a huge series of thank yous to offer to all the people who have made this tour possible, but I'll save that for a moment when it's not so late/early.

However, I need to send an immediate shout out and huge thanks to Steve and  Annette and all the folks at the Crossroads Blues Society in Byron Illinois, and to Don and Becky for hosting us at the Blackhawk Trail lodge.

Our last show for the US tour at the VFW hall was a riot and a very special moment.

Also to Tina and all the gang at old Town the night before. Yikes. Here I go getting ahead of myself, so I'll just wrap this particular entry up, and thankyou, Dear Reader for continuing to be a part of what we do. We hope to be in your company at a gig again, soon.
