Beautiful Blur of Summer - July is Woody Fest!

Had an awesome time touring recently in the D.C. area with shows on a boat (thank you David!) at the bottom of a hillside (thank you Brian!), in the basement (Thank you Gene and Susan) and a workshop for the Baltimore Songwriters Association (thank you Ty and the BSA). Highlights? hanging out on the boat was real cool. Arm wrestling with Brenda...I won but it wasn't easy. Playing Guitar Hero (the video game) with Brian and his daughters...I sucked until I started playing some Who. Avoiding D.C. rush hour and traffic accidents. Miraculously making my flight out of BWI after oversleeping by two and a half hours in Burke, Va. Never experienced anything quite like that one in terms of Travel Angels parting the Red Sea of D.C. area traffic

The local duo with Taos superstar Jimmy Stadler continues to be a blast. I went mountain biking up in the Valle Vidal July 1st with Jimmy and the guys I've been riding with on Sundays when I'm home. Wow. What a place!

The new trio Lewis, DonCon & Turnmire has been welcomed by Taos listeners, dancers and venues. We're very grateful and we continue to rehearse (a LOT) and learn new tunes to honor that. I'm otherwise busy learning to play guitar and riding (crashing) my mountain bike. All the trails out here are uphill. You never get to ride downhill. Only up. True Story. Thanks to Ray and Sherry at Gearing Up Bikes for improving my tread and gear ratios and also to Mike, Evan and Mark for kicking my ass every Sunday morning rides when I can actually get there to ride. Peace on you all. See you in Oklahoma!
