This morning I'm getting ready to head for the foothills of Southern Alberta. Tonight I'll be joining the Lance Loree and his brother Dave, aka "The Pailbunters" at the Auditorium Hotel in Nanton for some good old country music. My frequent musical compadre Charlie Ewing will be showing up, and Charlie and I will no doubt have a few songs for you as well. Tomorrow night Charlie and I are playing a private event down the road aways. I'm driving a fairly small vehicle this trip, and it occurs to me that loading all this gear will present a bit of a challenge.
