An equinox howdy from high above the Rocky Mountains!
Time for another action-packed winding road with places to play and dear souls to see and visit. In short, time for a QTN autumn tour. This is late getting out, so I'm going to be brief.
Having said that, I want to let you all know that Guitarred and Feathered, the wordless guitar record I have been making is finally finished and already at the manufacturer. That means I'm gonna be a poppa of sorts again and the possibility exists that it will be traveling with me at least in the mid/late part of this tour. More news about Guitarred and Feathered will be in the newsletter which ought be heading to yer emailbox any day now. If you would like me to send you a real objet d'art souvenir postcard about the new album (with refrigerator-quality art), send me a postal address here and I will wing you one immediately.
Here is the most recent schedule of my month:.
