This is what happens when one tries to book a tour while also trying to get through comprehensive exams for a Master’s Degree: the gigs are far apart and involve a lot of driving.
Somehow when booking this tour I missed the fact that the concert in Niagara Falls was in the afternoon, and so there was a lot of driving between Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon. (There was also a lot of driving the day before – again, grad school consequences!)
Nonetheless, the concert went off without a hitch, and we had a great time. My good friend Jason Beaudreau teaches at Niagara County Community College, which is where the concert took place. After the concert it was off to the hotel, and then I raced off to teach a few guitar lessons; there were some kids in town who wanted a lesson. They were really good players, and it was nice to teach a bit on the road.
By the evening we were all wiped out, but especially me as I didn’t have a nap. After dinner, the guys went out while I slept until quite late the next morning.
Breakfast involved waffles and drinkable coffee.
And then…more driving…
