Thanks for your messages of concern. I am recovered from my recent surgery and am running close to full steam. I went on tour with John Mayall three weeks after getting my bionic hip and was off the cane, walking fairly normally (for me) about a month in to the trip. Man, that was a crazy tour! John’s Spring European tour hit 15 countries, 46 shows, in 55 days – and his new release, “Nobody Told Me” even reached number one on the Blues charts while we were touring. The shows were fun, the band was grooving, and my boss is a tank! We return for 60 days this fall after a couple of legs in the US.
I have enjoyed my time at home getting to play with Sis Deville, Shelley King, and Marcia Ball! It occurs to me that the only chance one has to see the Carolyn Wonderland Band (featuring the stellar and interstellar Kevin Lance and Bobby Perkins) in Texas for the next few months will be this coming Thursday, May 30th, at Antone’s. We’re playing with the amazing Davy Knowles! Doors at 7, show at 8 ❤
