Back at Knucks. A favored spot.

The Kung Fu Shall be Strong.

Howdy Folks.

Apols for the paucity of updates. Part of it's lack of net access, part of it is stopping to sniff the flowers (so to speak).

Despite my fist shaking at Facebook I have resorted to it for posting pics cos i'm able to access it on the move.

Go here for some current tour pics: www.facebook.com/stormcellarband.

Dont worry,, this blog will be the one with the videos when we get back :-) Take that FB.

Meanwhile, here are the tour headlines.

No Strangers to Kindness

Jill, Chris, Pete, David (X2),  Margaret, thankyou. Ditto Lesley.

Road Stories

People tell you their stories. We'll sing about some of them.

Micky Dees Bathroom Line Up

Any roadtrip will involve pit stops. Otherwise, don't drink the warm bottle of apple juice.

Split The Plate

Mid western portion size. Yikes.

KC Rebirth

Googles not wrong. KC baby.

Late. Night. more soon.

Howdy Folks.

Time for another free wireless update. What a day. Didn't have time to post stuff before our last two gigs.

BEEES

Root beer attracts them. What is it with Bees and this tour?

Dickey James Schools Me Again

The Dickey James band were on fire at Birdys. Wow.

Ken Tucker is a Bad Ass Player

Got the chops.

Travellin Mac is our guiding saint.

God bless you Mr Novak

Garlic Festival was Amazing

Every now and again you have a day that forms the foundation of a memory. To be aware of it whilst it's occurring is a gift. Thank you Dave.

Jim Connor

There can be no greater honor than to be mentioned in dispatches. Jim has a heart as big as a planet. It was a rare pleasure.

The Hoosier Darlings

I got footage. you'll see it when I get a chance. Awesome.

Notes on a day

At the end of all things there is nothing left but love. When you feel it, there's nothing else. 

We love you too dear reader.

More when I get back from seeing Jeffs water buffalo. No I'm not kidding.

MJEB

Good Mroning and welcome to the Stormcellar News Network, the only channel dedicated to stuff what happens to the boys (and Jo) whilst on tour.

This Mornings Headlines:

Mark from Spirit Wear in Fort Wayne is a Legend

Getting that custom shirt for Mac done at 0 notice, picking up a tshirt and driving it to the gig? Bravo Sir, Bravo. Yes I'm plugging his business, go see him for Stuff in Fort Wayne, like printing.

Bill Lupkin Schools Me Again

I had to play harp last night in front of another master player. Bugger. Bill very kindly joined us for some songs. I got schooled. I know that phrase is rather poor English, speaking of 'schooling', but it remains true. Tone, skills, taste, a true Master of the instrument. Thank you Mr Lupkin. I am totally going to rip some of those phrases off.

Tommy Lee Drives 12 Hours to do our sound tonight

What can I add to that? Thanks Tommy Lee.

Zico is one funny Guy

X is quick but Zico is quicker. Thanks for coming out to see us. See you in KC.

Hey Mo, Mr Balt seems like a genuinely  nice bloke

I know you read the blog and Mark came out to see us. I ought to run a personals column.

You can get good eats at 3 am in Fort Wayne

Thanks to the gang at Henrys.

I miss my Harpmaster 3000

I left my custom harp case back in Oz 'cos it was too bulky. I miss it. I have a miniature replacement case and it's just not working. Harps scattered across the floor, can't find the key, ARRRGH!!!

I love these guys

Travelling with this irregular outfit of miscreants remains a pleasure and their onstage performance are truly a thing of beauty. It's a peculiar world with random events that take us away from the course we chart. Whether we're headed in the correct direction, or following the GPS down some obscure back alley, I am in good hands.

575 Road Deaths And Climbing in Illinois

When we arrived it was 522. They post it on the sigboards as you drive down the freeway. Take it easy out there folks.

Right, coffee finished, free wifi burning, time to google a breakfast nook, round up the cellar fellers (and lass) and go out into the sunshine. Where's the famous stormcellar weather? Hmmm.

Stay tuned for more headlines when we have'em.
