Back to Work!

So... back to work for the Ghost.
June 24-30 we are Band-in-Residence at The Centrum Slide & Steel Festival combined with Voiceworks at beautiful Fort Worden in Port Townsend WA. We have played the Fiddle Tunes festival there numerous times over the years and have also been involved in other fests and shows there, but this is our first time at this event.
Fort Worden is a glorious venue and Port Townsend spectacularly beautiful.
I will be teaching Dobro, Danny slide, Jon harmony, Eddie steel, Jerry reading music and raising your game.
We are really looking forward to being there and I hope we'll see some of you!

Then it's Lincoln Theatre (Mt. Vernon, WA)
Dead On The Creek (Willits, CA)
Strawberry Fall Festival (Yosemite)
The Palms (Winters, CA)
The Walnut Valley Festival (Winfield, KS)
Bernie's Guitar (Redding, CA)
Hardly Strictly Bluegrass (San Francisco, CA)
... and on and on

Barcelona, Mediterranean, Rome...

Wow.
We fell in love with the great international city of Barcelona. Clean, beautiful, great food, friendly people and the sea... you must go there. If you were on the fence - hop off and go. You'll be glad you did. We took a few days there before embarking on a small (148 passenger) sailing cruise ship the Wind Spirit across the Mediterranean to Menorca, Mallorca, Sardinia, Corsica, Elba and Rome.
Yeah, baby.
Our entertainment duties were fairly light and our enjoyment and appreciation of the boat, crew, islands, sights, sounds and fellowship profound. If you have not been to Europe or it has been a while since you did- I recommend you go.
We had a ball...
