In two days time, it'll be two weeks since we landed in Austin for the Long Gone Lonesome tour. The 5 week tour kicked off in Austin on 19th Jan and will finish in Tallahassee Florida, on 14th Feb. Indiana, Chicago and Pennsylvania dates lie between the two. These first two weeks have been hectic! We landed in Austin on Thursday 12th Jan and took full advantage of that first weekend, before reporting for duty on Tuesday 17th. First stop, Whitney, Texas to the Tommy Duncan Memorial Festival. We'd been invited as special guests to the one day festival to commemorate Tommy Duncan, vocalist with Bob Wills (King of Western Swing). Tommy sang many of Bob's hits during 1940s and 50s. So on Friday 13th (unlucky for some but not us it would seem!) we headed north from Austin to meet Pam Townley, the organiser.
We have a band blog up and running for the tour, which I updated today about that trip so will just stick the link in here, rather than writing it all again! Here it is... Long Gone Lonesome Blog. Will make sure I keep the two blogs connected!
