2021 Summer Tour, Tales from the Road
Please understand that by this blog’s title, I do not think that we “need” a day off. It’s not like we’re breaking our backs with intense manual labor, or straining our brains to figure out new cures for disease or trying to solve climate change. I do fully see how galavanting around the country, playing...

Community is everything when you live in a small town. BBQ’s, holidays, events, the local football team, etc. Small businesses are not just important, interesting, or sentimental, they are vital to the unification and survival of these small towns. Such was the way for Bob and Kate. A couple in the town of Stevensville who...

Our hostess from Wednesday night, Gretchen, offered us a tour of her place during the day of Thursday. The private party we were asked to stay in town for was starting at 6:00, and we had to get to the local library for some WiFi to get our blogs up, so we had some morning...

Welcome to Montana! Big Sky Country. Love this state. Glad to be back. Here are some things I thought about or heard while we drove 4 hours to get here… •Pee Wee Herman should cover Van Morrison’s “Glad Tidings”. That chorus…on his red bike. •Moldy cheese is still cheese underneath. Just cut the muck away...

“What should we do to help ourselves not be afraid?” I asked Rudy while waiting to get on the “Timber Terror”, Silverwood’s fastest wooden roller coaster. “Nothing. We should just let ourselves be afraid.” I looked in the eyes of my sensitive little boy and stood in awe of his wisdom, so far beyond and...

Water slides, wave pools, ice cream, lazy river, chicken strips, roaring rapids, new friends, more new friends, rides, more rides… phew! Rudy is a champion amusement park kid. Not too demanding,...

No time to waste! We’ve got a happy guy here and we’re gonna party today! After the obligatory “Hey look, we’re at Silverwood!” photo, we headed to the carousel. One of my favorites. We began, very traditionally, with a spin on the carousel. Then, you guessed it. The Spinny Fun Fun Ride. 😂 This was not...

As a parent, there’s a moment when your child is doing something over and over again that you are faced with a decision to make. “Do we tell him to stop and move on to something else? Or, do we sit back in utter amazement as he solidifies his spot in history as either the...

One of the best things about being out on the road is the people you meet that really want to help you and take care of you. What I didn’t mention yesterday (because that blog was more introspective and less informative) was that Rudy was not able to come to the gig with us because...

As I set up our merchandise for tonight’s show, I found this beautiful tulip that my darling friend and long-time CS fan, Jenny, made for me before we left. I put it on display in the lights of our $1.00 bin, next to a goofy Polaroid taken at a New Years Eve event we played...
