A word from on the road

Well, we just finished up our performance of Stay Tuned with the Regina Symphony Orchestra in Regina, Saskatchewan. This was our first time with the RSO and everything went smoothly. The conductor, Victor Sawa, was a pleasure to work with and the orchestra played very well. They had a full house and the audience really seemed to enjoy the show. We were their final concert of the season so there was an added feeling of celebration in the air. We each were presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers during our bows. Many times just Sheridan and I are given flowers, but this time even the guys got them.
Even our border crossings went smoothly. For the truck especially, it can often be a time consuming process entering and exiting Canada. Kurt and I are pleased to announce that we had swift and painless crossings. Now we are on to Colorado Springs, CO. to perform Stay Tuned with the Colo. Spgs. Philharmonic Orchestra. This will be our 5th time back with this orchestra. I have lots of family in the Colo Spgs / Denver area so I am looking forward to seeing some of them at the show. We hope to do a little sight-seeing, too. Matt, our drummer, is excited to do some rock climbing. He's been trying to talk some of us into going with him. I'm not sure if any of us will be brave enough. I'll let you know.
