ahh..it's back in melbournetown now, for the final stint of australianism before heading home in a roundabout touring schedule that will eventually get me there...i love being a tumbleweed.
the past two weekends have been filled with shows in tasmania and adelaide - two more places that i've stuffed into my heart as oz-specials. more memories to check at the luggage claim.
i spent four days in tazzie - and four shows with the lovely andrew marshall, gretel templeton, rosie burgess trio and hayley cooper. the gigs were filled with happy, silent faces, sitting still through the songs and being ultra-sweet straight to the finish, with yummy chats to follow. the vibe reminded me much of the new zealand tour, and the respected response for original music there. there's something about wide open spaces, nature and seaside that just seem to chill people out, and allow for appreciation of all kinds. me like. i got to sneak in a little sight-seeing, as well, thanks to rod, who served as a fabulous tour-guide (thanks, rod!)...tazzie is a wonderful place. i'm looking forward to scoping it out on my next - summer - round.
adelaide was also filled with magic this past weekend. not only was it an absolute pleasure to play alongside miss loren kate, but it was glorious just to be alongside her, in general. such a wonderful soul. much time spent in the treetops with little ones made me feel all grounded and still - a nice foreshadow to the peace to come, familyside. i look forward to making my way back to the singing gallery (a converted chapel venue...ahhhmazing) soon(ish).
back in the city, things are in full-gear again. filming, recording, farewell gigging, and mustering up canadian tourness is where it's at before taking flight. so many to see and sing with before another chapter closes...
i wonder how many are left in this epic read...if only i could skip ahead. oh, but the mystery of it all is a wonder. so lucky am i to play the lead...
big hugs and love to you all,
looking forward to catching up to you in taiwan, california and canada and wrapping up with you in oz....
mmmmuah!
