I’m in the process of importing all my CD’s into my home computer. This process began a long, long time ago but as it requires lots of my prolonged attention, it remains unfinished. My goal is to have all the music stored on one computer, and have it all backed up on an external hard.

I was asked to open for The Old Crow Medicine Show’s, Friday night and Saturday night stand at the Fillmore, up in San Francisco. I love that venue and the Old Crow boys are great so, naturally, I was stoked.  About a week and a half before gig, my brother Sean told me our friend Benmont, on a whim, was thinking of taking a road trip up to the bay area that same weekend, and Sean told him “Hey! My sister’s playing up there that was thinking of going along! I cancelled my flight up there, and we all piled into my brother’s car, along with our friend Jess, and the four of us hit the road.

After opening for Donavon Frankenreiter for a month (performing solo, for the most part) I was extremely happy to have friends up there with me, and Sean and Ben, no less.
 It was also fun to see Benmont in a venue he practically lived in for a month in 1997, when Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers played a 20 show residency at the Fillmore.

Thanks to the Old Crow Medicine Show for having us up there with you, the four of us had a great time.

I forget how easy the drive is from LA to SF - only six hours, really . . .  if you time it right.

It took me a good three or four days to settle into being home again after being away all last month, but I’m now deep into home mode, and am as happy as ever about it.  The only trip I have planned before Christmas is this three show mini-tour to Dallas, Austin and Houston Texas with Sean and Glen Phillips.  That should be fun, maybe Red Volkart will be playing somewhere in Austin that night . . .
