Things are moving along famously. Our tour with the Wood Brothers & Casey Driessen was a smashing success -- at least to us. It was an honor to be playing every night with those guys. Every musician on stage was a pleasure to work with. We're really looking forward to recreating some of those moments with them on the Sailing Southern Ground cruise. Dramamine is imminent as the trip is drawing nigh. Most meteorologists are supposing that Hurricane Earl will move up the East coast and miss our destinations entirely. (Insert knocking on wood here.) Rocky seas can make a giant boat like that an obstacle course and make most folks rather sick, but we're going either way. Hold on tight. We're actually very excited about bringing this lineup to a sailing party. Über-psyched! I'll update you after it's over for those unable to attend.
