After the storm.....
Wow rough ocean. These raging waves are kinda scary. I love it. I forgot to mention that the town we played, Kill Devil Hills, is the place where the famous Wright Brothers flew the first airplane, Kitty Hawk, in the history of mankind. That was a great place to come for my first tour of the year because I'm about to fly high and do something new.
We arrived there safely, the concert was successful and now we are driving the minivan to Boston. A little worried about the aftermath of the blizzard in NYC area. Well, we'll find out.

Arrived!
WE ARRIVED!!
AND WE ARE ALIVE!!
AAAAARGH!!
We drove sixteen hours, went through nine states, conquered all the blizzard, heavy snow, coldness, gusts, whiteout, torrential rain, floods, high tides and all that. We reached the destination. We won. We are the champions, my friends. This is how professional traveling musicians live!

Short tour to North Carolina!
I've been checking and recharging the equipments for the short three-day tour starting tomorrow.
We are heading to North Carolina driving right through the blizzard for twelve hours. It's going to be like the documentary of The Day After Tomorrow according to the weather forecast.
Well, I think I became a real traveling musician over the years and I developed the tolerance on physical and mental sufferings. In the year 2015 alone, I saw (and had troubles with) deer, bears, bisons, fresh-eating parrots, -20F (-30C) temperature, deadly desert, 100 mph wind gusts etc. After I went through all that, I take the natural disasters like blizzards come with it as a matter of course. To tell the truth, I'm almost looking forward to facing up to the blizzard. Hee-hee. Bring it on. I'm feeling the adrenaline rush already.
