Toby was reading parts of your book last night after the show and he said he wished he had read the part about touring in a van before his summer shows this year! HA HA. My friend Sean was traveling with Toby on that tour and was the only one who had previously driven a truck. He told none of the other tour members that, however, because he was afraid he would be stuck driving and parking the damn thing all the time! God the stories they themselves could tell are funny too.

The show last night was unbelievable! It was nice to hear an acoustic set....and of course Ta Bouche Est Tabou!

Thanks again for another great experience. I look forward to the new album coming out soon.

HOORAY! Your book arrived in the mail today, and I can already tell that I could have really used this a few years ago on an ill-fated tour of the South ... and maybe the one in the East ... and maybe the one ... oh gosh, well anyway, thank you for writing it (now how about that next solo album) ..!
