buren on the aare, switzerland 4.9.2009
some shots made this afternoon- after shopping- in Buren by the Aare- a small beautiful village nearby. i also made some very short video clips of the moving water to possibly make a music video w/ solo piano accompaniment.
it's been very cold the past few days- but today felt like spring- and spring in switzerland is absolutely glorious! one of the most beautiful countries on the planet... and my 2nd home

switzerland-denmark- switzerland
allo allo! i have been remiss in posting any travel blurbs due to the fact that i have been jet lagged all week- AND- been editing video from our denmark concert and uploading to youtube. as my friend michael rasbury says: "life is too short for video."- and as my friend mary says about facebook: "it's like crack... i cant stop!" and i have been doing both: editing the videos and posting them on youtube, facebook and myspace! that is VERY time consuming.
i came over here [switzerland] dec. 8 and worked up until the 1st of march. jackie and i went to the US march 5-31 -during which time we & my mama went to memphis for friends wedding-20-22- then flew back to switzerland, arriving on april 1st.
we had band rehearsals the 2nd; the 3rd i spent all day/night burning cds/printing labels etc [because i couldnt get the cds done professionally in the states before i left]- i needed them for the festival in denmark. i didnt sleep all night [jet lag] so stayed awake, packed, we drove to the airport [on the 4th] in zurich, flew to copenhagen, then to aarhus. then the bus met us and took us to the festival site, we dressed, did sound check, played, did an interview, partied a bit, slept a bit at the hotel. got up at 4AM and the bus drove us to the airport in aarhus, we flew back to copehnagen, then zurich then we drove 1.5 hours back to Lengnau. so... i have had jet lag all week.
the gig festival show was great. we had a great time. unfortunately we only had an hour, so didnt get to do some of the songs on the list! had to leave out about 4, plus some encores i'd planned. but everything went smoothly- the organization and the crew were great- as were the audience. i definitely want to go back and play Denmark again- well, as for that- i want to play EVERYWHERE!
i've posted a quite a few fotos on facebook- but not here. so am adding some from this trip back...

blues city cafe which touts itself as the best meal on beale- which is total false advertising. i've eaten there before and it was ok- when i was still eating meat= barbque- but this time not only was the food horrible- so was the so called service.
beale street by night- [bourbon street it aint!]- memphis
the peabody duck show
bubbas in a buggy- memphis
memphis sky at dusk
a remnant of the old & disappearing south-mississippi- highway 61 south
"be led by the holy spirit" mississippi- highway 61 south

monroe, louisiana- march 2009
flew in from zurich [where it was snowing!] may 5th- below are some shots of the clouds [between atlanta and monroe] from the plane... obviously
running around doing errands, yesterday [after being away for 3+ months] i had my camera in my pocket and shot various stuff: below guys bar-b-que-ing on the street- typical louisiana scene
we had lunch at the cypress inn on bayou desiard: below: me & my mama; jacqueline & mama; boiled crawfish on a table; people eating; a shot of bayou desiard
nice to wear short sleeves- and be able to sit outside - and after the long cold european winter. although some trees and plants are in bloom others are not... like these cypress trees.
