Bon jour, my friends!
It’s been a very interesting
winter for us this year and I’m, frankly, ready to see some dogwood and
AZALEA action sooner than later. My old pig smoker looked fairly
lonely and forlorn when I left for Europe a couple of weeks ago. I’ll
be warming it up as soon as I get home.
I write to you from a balmy Berlin (not). It is mighty cold up here in
northern Germany but the fans and pals are warm and it’s been wonderful
to be back in this city after a 20 year absence. I’ve played a couple of shows here already and have three or four more to perform before I head to England.

CHECK OUT this live recording from the Belfast Nashville Songwriter Festival
Ireland was wonderful and the people were fantastic. Belfast is one of the
friendliest places on Earth and their musical tradition is hearty,
impassioned, alive and well. It was certainly an honor for me to play
the 6th Annual Guinness Belfast Nashville Songwriters Festival on the
first leg of my tour and you can bet that I would love to return there.
The talent was staggering with folks like Nanci Griffith, Ralph
McTell, Carlene Carter, Holly Williams, and, may I say it, yours truly.
(My time there has filled me full of the blarney.)

After Belfast I scooted down to Dublin for a couple of days then on to Paris.
CHECK OUT one of my favorite bars in Paris.

Now, of course, I’m in Berlin.
The city has certainly changed since I lived here and I’ll be writing more about that later in blogs. In the meantime check out this quick video. 20 years ago this space was a field of grass!
So, thanks for your warm wishes and outstanding musical taste!!!
