We are home now, time to pet kitties and relax, and then into the studio next weekend!

Get ready for the Cheshire Moon "We've been pounded by all kinds of extra bills" midwestern tour!

And, we booked all these before all this happened ... clever that.

We have gotten pounded with hospital and automotive bills the last month. If you have wanted to see us play, now is the time! We have lots of music for sale, including two new CDs. You can put money in our jar (virtual in the case of the Concert Window show). You can see us in our living room (live or virtual), in a church and in someone else's living room (both of those live). Oh, and the Chicago show ... we're bringing Susan! That doesn't happen every often.

And if you want CDs, they are available on our website, cheshiremoon.net. If you want downloads, they are available at cheshiremoon.bandcamp.com.

Thank to David and Erin for their marvelous hospitality and a marvelous place to do a house concert. It was so wonderful to see some faces I haven't seen in too long.

We are going to try to get to the Chicago area in the spring/early summer and may do a mini tour this summer as well, which will probably include some shows in the area.

The first road trip of the year is almost over. This weekend was a dance weekend for WSPA-3 so we have been hanging out and actually getting some decent downtime.

The only real problem, my poor love is sick. She had the beginnings of a cold toward the end of the week, felt better yesterday and is miserable today. The scary thing ... she is actually letting me take care of her. My knee is better, but she still tries to do all the driving. When I say "I'm driving home" and she says "ok", she isn't feeling well.

WSPA-3 has been at workshops, but we did get to hang out at the pool together yesterday.

The hotel has been horrible, especially food service. I may rant about that later.

The big highlight for me was lunch yesterday with rowangolightly. There was much laughing and stories and marvelous food. Lizzie and I have to get down this way again soon.

Next weekend is the house concert in Champaign, a week and a half after that is Seattle.

Then nothing for awhile. A crazy month, it's going to be amazing though.

Here is the Facebook event. If you don't do FB contact David Abzug or myself. (my email address is my first name last name at gmail)

This may be the only chance for Illinois folks to see this version of the band as Susan is moving away this summer!

We are looking to do more house concerts, but don't have them lined up at the moment.
