An update from the road...

Hey folks,


We are on the road again somewhere between Chattanooga and Atlanta. When I left off last we had left Belvidere and were headed for Virginia. We only stopped at three truck stops but we did end the night at Walmart in Bristol.

The first story comes at Shane's expense. We had been on the road for a couple of hours when he decided to turn in for the night. He climbed in his bunk and Lorne and I were standing there talking to him. He asked if we smelled something burning. We didn't, but we started investigating where it was coming from. We were just about to give up the search when we heard some commotion in Shane's bunk. The burning smell was his pillow laying against the light in his bunk. It had burned a hole in his high quality poly-blend pillow case! He showed it to us while it was still smoldering. It was pretty cool.

Friday we toured the Bristol Motor Speedway and then went on up to Coeburn. The people in Coeburn were really excited to see us and we had a really good time there. We played for most of two and a half hours! The people really enjoyed themselves and they danced the night away. We left there and drove back down to Chattanooga and got there at about five this morning. We played the Chattanooga Market and it was really neat to walk around and visit with the people there. Our sound man today was Ken and he really had us sounding good. Those of you that have ever played in a band know how important it is to hear yourself and Ken really had us set up right. Thanks Ken! Tonight we will be playing at the Hollonville Opry in the fork in the road that is Hollonville, GA. We're looking forward to meeting the folks there.

I will try to update tonight on our way to White, GA (where we play in the morning). I'm not sure how long I will be up as I have pulled night driving duties the past two nights and it's starting to catch up with me.

Back in a few,
Wayne
