We spent our day off yesterday in Buffalo, NY and are now on Queen Elizabeth Way, en-route to Toronto, Canada. Getting through the border crossing in a tour bus can be an arduous task, but this afternoon it was no sweat. Not six or seven minutes after stopping, we were back on the road, with a white-capping, stormy Lake Erie on our right.

There has been a lot of cake on this tour - more cake, I’d wager, than I’ve ever seen in a three and a half week time period. First we got two cakes in Knoxville from the guitar player Pete’s aunt, for his birthday. Then we got a vegan cake for the tour manager Tito’s birthday. Jenny Lynn brought us an apple cake in DC, and in New York, a baker brought Donavon a huge cake, on top of which, Donny’s likeness was raised up as if it were embossed.

I’m guessing these desserts are not helping the outcome of my record cover photo shoot scheduled in early November.

I only have five more shows on the Donavon Frankenreiter tour. It’s been so much fun. Almost every night a few of the guys from the band join me on stage for two or 3 songs.

We’re pulling into Toronto now. The sky is grey and everyone on the street is bundled up in puffy winter coats. Looks like i should get some warmer things from out of my suitcase under the bus.

I switched my phone off for duration of my stay in Canada, so i’ll just have to check in back home tomorrow morning.
