The “countdown clock” shows just five days and counting! Almost time for blast off! Strap on your boots, put on your oxygen masks and……All you have to do is “belly up to the bar”! 😆
There has been DDDI, DDDII and DDDIII, but…..This will be the best ever! I guarantee it!
We will be in your kitchen, in your office and even in your bathroom! In fact, DDD will be everywhere you go! All the “whadumacallits” and “thinkymajigees” are very finely tuned, in good working order and we’re GO for blast off!
Are your ready? Are you really ready for this? Do you think you can handle this adventure?

Perhaps instead, you should take the Valley Road. I know for a fact that there is something going on over yonder down the road tonight. You know, the one that’s past those city lights way out to the south of the county, where the paper mill runs.Oh!…..I’ve been down that Vally Road before! It is now The Road Not Takin’! 😆

Lake Lanier, GAHey guys!
Based on some of the comments about pictures, some history of the Biltmore show must be “called to order”! :lol:…..
I will admit that MVF is right, admitedly, for once and only once and by mere circumstance! 😆 …..As far as my memory recollects, which is another story in itself! 😆 …..There has been five shows at Biltmore.
All the seating use to be “reserved” and there was actually a fence put up in front of the stage, but to my understanding, Bruce did not like that so……Two shows ago, all the seating became “general admission” with no fence and plenty of space in front of the stage. Thus the pictures you saw was from the “reserved seating” days and not from the “general admission” days! Get the picture? 😆
Just a little “history” for whatever’s it’s worth, from the whatever’s it’s worth department! 😆

Lake Lanier, GAAnother thought (tonight)…..
After surviving tornadoes, closed roads, no gas, no food……I finally pulled into Meridian from Mobile and decided I would “check out” downtown and the venue. What a “sleepy” town it was! I decided to take a lap “around the block”, which put me in the back of the theater. There was Bruce’s bus and his bus driver washing his window! I couldn’t help but pull over. No problem parking. No parking meters. Just me and Bruce’s bus and his driver!
I could hear “sound check” goin’ on, but I couldn’t help but ask Bruce’s driver a few questions! All this is “here sa”, but seems he had some stories to tell!
Don’t touch that dial! 😆

My pics are on my cell phone and not that great of quality compared to yours! I don’t know how to even download them to my hard drive. I tried to text some to SMP and MOLO since I have their cell numbers, but couldn’t even figure out how to do that either.
This picture thing is obviously not my gift! But…..Being “C of B” is! You wonder how it happened? He just picked it up from dad! 😆

Can’t wait!The main thought that comes to mind (tonight) from a Road Scholar and a true “just earned another stripe” Road Warrior is…..That sounds like a blast! You should go for that! You really should!
On the other hand…..Maybe you should plan an “Apres Bruuuce” day along the way! I ended up at Bourbon Street and it made “the tour of duty” even better!
Maybe I should come up there and show you how it’s done! Who knows…..You might like it! 😆

Lake Lanier, GAThe tires were rotated, the oil was changed, and I even encountered tornados, power outages, no gas, no food, closed roads, but, somehow this Road Warrior made it thru!
I’m still tryin’ to recover from all the “tusunamis”, but…..Out of the “deep south” tour, Meridian comes to mind!
Mobile and NOLA had other bands involved and…..You just didn’t feel like you got the “full effect”……If you know what I mean!In Meridian, Bruce came on at 7:30 and played to almost 11:00. The Show Goes On and Mandolin Rain would have made you cry! Despite the quiet crowd, Bruce was at his best! Gave a great rendition of King Of The Hill, a bluesgrass version of The Way It Is, the new Shadow Hand, Funhouse, Rainbow, and I could go on and on and on! You get the picture!
I couldn’t get him to play Tango King, but he politely reminded me that he played that the night before at Mobile. But, the next night at NOLA, he opened with it! Same with Candy Mountain Run.
The main thought that comes to mind (tonight) is…..Whenever it’s Bruce and Bruce only, he will play till the cows come home! When other bands are involved, he can’t do that!
Anyway…..Speaking of the cows coming home!……
When the sun is setting and the cows are comin’ home……There is no other place I would rather be than Bruuuce!
That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it! 😆

No need to watch what you say! If Bruce didn’t enjoy it, he wouldn’t read it! I think what you say gives him enouragement!
Why do you think the “C of B” is the “C of B”? 😆

Back in the “high country”!David Day
Lake Lanier, GaGreetings from New Orleans! I have my speedo on and it seems I fit in well here! 😆 We’re all practicing for my “tryout”! 😆 The crowd is “cranked” and even being very helpful in pickin’ out a song for it! So far it’s a four way tie!
It smells soo good here! Don’t know if I’ll take a shower for many days to come! 😆
I’ve had my first “tsunami” and the crowd seems to be favoring Raindow’s Cadillac! But, they have a long way to go!
There’s so many thoughts and stories to share! I even have some pics this time to share, but not the quality that Carey or Kat would do; but nevertheless, some very nice pics!
Road trip back home tomorrow. Gosta get back to “reality” sometime! 😆
OMG!!! Here comes another “tsunami”! 😆 I have a fellin’ that this is goin’ to be another late, late night! Gosta get Back To My Woods!
Defenders, Defenders of the Flag!…..I can rest well tonight, whenever that may be, knowing that I’ve done my job!

Forgot to tell you……JT now plays a song on guitar! Won’t tell you which one, but Doug claims credit for being JT’s “guitar tech”! Seemed they really gelled with Sonny being there! JV is his usual friendly, “I’m so glad to be here” attitude! Bobby is at his best! You would not believe some of Bobby’s new talents! Bruce is playing more songs on dulcimer and his piano and vocals are back to Spirit Trail days!
It’s all good! So many thoughts! Haven’t even had time to write about Mobile!
It’s that time again! Back to My Woods!

NOLA!Meridian: What a sleepy town with a sleepy audience, but a beautiful venue! This was the quietist audience I’ve ever encountered at a Noisemakers show, but surprisingly, Bruce rose to the ocassion and with the exception of Biltmore, was one of the better shows I’ve seen in many, many years.
Some scuttlebutt: For those wondering about Sonny, Sonny is back! On a sad note, JT told me he got a divorce. We agreed that we would hitch up and chase “wild women” together!
Back to My Woods! Crawl dads for lunch! Sea breeze is great and salt in the air! Time for a pint!
The weather is here! Wish you were beautiful! 😆

I will faithfully and dutifully accept the call!

Lake Lanier, GAYes! The oil is change, the tires rotate, the wheels alinged and the AC serviced! I have “craw dads” on the brain and I know I will encounter some “chirpin’ mosquitos” along the way! 😆
It will be a tough task, but…..Someone has to do it! It’s my fudiciary duty! 😆
