Bloggin’ From Denmark

Hey cats & kittens out in grooveland. I'm diggin it here in Denmark! Here's a photo playing with James Harman a few nights ago. Big Fun! Been through Norway & Sweeden too. Big show tonight in Esberg tonight. Two more shows tomorrow. Then home.

Arriving in Denmark for the first time is a beautiful thing!

On the road again! Some things never change. Here are Band mates (L to R) Jan, Ulrik, Erik, & HC, and preparing our Lear jet for travel (with trailer).

In the beautiful coastal town of Pakhus, we played the Great Harvest Festival, ate their food, stayed in their homes, ate their food some more, then disappeared in the morning fog.

On to Norway! Fresh bread, fresh fruit, and delightful hospitality even in the most remote places!

Here’s the band! Shaky Ground. These are the fellas that we’re sooooo kind to invite me to Denmark, book all the gigs, learn all my songs, rehearse, drive me everywhere, feed me, house me, and… invite me back! It was a great hang even when I couldn’t understand a word they were saying. They tried teaching me a few Danish words, but my noises didn’t constitute actual words.

In the photo L to R is… NO on keyboards, Ulrik on Sax, The Shooter on bass, Jan on rhythm guitar, vocals,  Erik on drums, HC on trumpet, and yours truly on guitar and goofy hat.

Jan was Learjet captain, road manager, gear fixer, and personal tour guide. Erik was the cat who invited me in the first place and generally made me feel welcome. All the cats made me feel welcome. It’s the way of the people! We could learn a lot from our Danish friends.

"What did you eat" you may ask. Here's the menu and the dish we had for lunch. All fresh and grown right there in the community (Ribe). This town is over a thousand years old!

This is the venue in Esjberg called Tobakken. A really spectacular performing arts center where during our performance this video was recorded.
