Running and Music-ing

So, it seems like my morning run is going to be the best time to explore the surrounding area.

This morning goes on the list of top running moments - exploring Rostock, finding a beautiful almost vacant park in the middle of the city, cool, fresh air - yeah, it was awesome.

I took about 20 pictures on my run.

Tonight is the first show of the tour.  I'll be honest and say that I feel a little shaky on some of William's tunes, but I am excited to start playing and getting comfortable.  The rest of the band has been on the road with him before, but I have had about a total hour of playing time with them and learned his songs primarily from youtube videos, so good luck me!

Honestly, I am prepared and it will be great.  I'm really excited to play.  I'm pumped to play my songs for a new audience and really looking forward to being a part of William and his band's sound on this tour.  It's some incredibly beautiful material.  If you have not heard it, check out www.williamfitzsimmons.com 

Um, German club hospitality is like nothing I have ever seen or experienced in my life.  I would only play Germany if it is not like this anywhere else.

Example:  Soundcheck ran late and I had to miss THE FULL SIT-DOWN MEAL THE CLUB COOKED FOR US, so they packed me a hot meal to take with me to the hotel while I changed.  The club did this.  What?!

New York ain't got nothin' on Germany in the musician hospitality department.  

Alrighty, I have to warm-up before the manager comes to pick me up for the show.

Wish me luck, friends!
