On the Move Edwards to Albuquerque Running from the Cold!

On the move and running from the cold. We played Friday night in Edwards Colorado with our drummer for the night Avon City Councilman Jake Wolf. It was fun and what a BEAUTIFUL PLACE...near Vail, Avon, Beaver Creek that area...started getting pretty darn cold. We stayed the night at the brewery and enjoyed some amazing beers. My favorite was Hookiebobb (which mean to hitch a ride up a hill by a car bumper in the pre-ski lift days and the 20 Hop IPA the bartender gave me as a gift...a special beer aged 6 months, with an ABV of 8.6% (alcohol), SRM of 6 (malt color), and IBU of 90 (International Bitterness Rating), $20 a bottle or $10 a glass and worth every drop. LOVE CRAZY MOUNTAIN BREWING.

Balloon Fiesta all week until the 15th

Then on Saturday morning, we hauled ass over the Vail-Summit to Denver... warm beautiful day. Again what a fun jam and our drummer for the night was Carleton Pike, an incredible drummer. Every song was as if he had been playing with us for years. He reminded us of first time we met our good friend and drummer Ron Rando in San Felipe. In any case, great night and we even had a new great friend Sis', a bass player
we met in Goleta and later stayed with for a week in Oregon. We shot the St. James Infirmary Blues video in her yard along the river in Corvallis Oregon (Here is that video on YOUTUBE). Well, we have now seen her 4 times on this tour (Santa Barbara and Ojai California, Corvallis Oregon and now Denver Colorado. This time she introduced us to another of her 10 sisters (Sis is the oldest, hence the name) and we really had a great time. THEN to top it off the bartender gave me a 4 pack of Emotional Rescue UNBELIEVABLE! An IBU of 150 and 9% - Yowza. The weather in Denver is 19 degrees today and we knew it was so....
