Red Roof Inn Detroit - Dearborn

I am officially on my way to New York City (currently over Michigan!) and the trip is going well so far. The seat next to me on the plane is open, which always a bonus, AND our travel agent gave me a little upgrade which never hurts J

I am going to try to keep this blog as updated as possible… I hope you enjoy it!

Love,

Alexis

De tweede dag (gisteren) stond in het teken van de Detroit show. Ik kan nu een hele verhandeling houden over Ticketmaster en paperless tickets en credit cards en debit cards, maar het komt er op neer dat het allemaal een stuk eenvoudiger zou moeten kunnen, volgens mij. In ieder geval: ik had staanplaatsen, maar ben niet in de pit (het voorste) gedeelte terecht gekomen. Waar men in Europa een "first come first serve" methode ...

Well, it never seems like too much luggage, or maybe it does. But after you have all the stuff packed; small bag, big bag, laptop bag, carryon bag, food bag, two big coats, an extra, extra big coat for a friend from Syria, then, THEN it seems like WAY too mucch luggage. Oy! We could travel with smaller bags, but that would mean we would bring fewer gifts, and have less ...

I am still at home. Only one more week. Being away from my home for three weeks requires a lot of preparation. I even know the movie that are going to have on the Flight. I am tired already!! Since I will be on a plane for almost 24 hours, I am collecting all the necessary stuff needed to be comfortable.

... stress of possibly having to find out how to get an emergency replacement passport for our Canadian date in less than 2 weeks. Once the pain got great enough, the passport and credit cards became the least of my worries. Guess that's one way to be present and live in the moment - ha. If you can't think beyond the immediate pain, you can't worry about the future! Touring world - Had a fun 1st production rep. Really like my 2nd ...

... No Cover Records. He's produced albums on Detroit bluesmen Uncle Jessie White and the Butler Twins as well as his own No Cover album, Therapy. Phil Hale plays keyboards with the great Thornetta Davis Band, jazz with his brother, drummer Milton Hale, and any kind of music with notes in it. They call him Phil Harmonic, and he can make any musical situation sound good. He's especially valuable to my band in the low-budget situations where it's either ...

... announcing his light bulb that stays lit more than a few seconds. There were 21 men before him that worked on the light bulb, but they could only keep it lit for a few seconds. His determination paid off! Besides walking around and looking at all the living history, we took a ride in an authentic 1914 Ford Model T, went to a play about slavery, and the boys played with all the wooden handmade toys like the kids did in the early 1900's on the Village ...

... the quintessential road trip - yummy snacks, open sunroof, great music, funny conversation. And no, it did not take us 4 days to hitch hike from Saginaw. Once you get off the interstate in Northern Michigan, you still have a 71 mile drive on a two lane road. In the winter, it is a major pain; in the summer on a sunny day, the rolling hills, lush trees, lilacs and peacefulness make me simply happy to be alive. When we arrived in Traverse City, Gail ...
