Howdy folks!
Time for the booga booga of another meanderthal adventure as I head to the midwest for s series of gigs and visits. Here's the first blush of dates and slightly pruned raisin consciousness appearances for you to eschew and plan ahead for. The Great Bundance is upon us as the seasonal Turn turn turns and that means music, and the opportunity to celebrate the Great Awakening after the Great Asleepening. I am looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible and have a taste of another midwest autumn.

Here's the pertinent info for your refrigerators. Hope to see you here or there!
