Hey All,
I got back home(Barbados) Tuesday morning at 1:30am after leaving Toledo,
Ohio at 4:00am Monday. At least half of that time was spent in the
airports in Chicago and Miami. I know this is probably the norm for most
of you, but it was pure torture for me. I hate airports and struggled to
stay awake.
Would I do this again?
Oh Yeah!!
Looking forward to it already.
I had a great time at the show, and hanging out and jamming at Rick's.
I'm from a fairly small island, and it's quite challenging finding other
artists that are interested in trying new things, far less a place where
you can actually watch such shows.
I'd just like to thank Rick and Chris for having me in their home, and to
Bill for bailing me out of my laptop disaster, and restringing Rick's
bass.
Thanks to all that played at this fest, it was truly inspiring to be a
part of this looping communion.
Hope to see you again on the next loop.
