New Richmond

Greetings from New Richmond!

It has been 24 years! Everything is much smaller than I had remembered.
I am having a great tour so far. The Historic Schoolhouse in Nouvelle was a great, intimate space to play, and it was a privilege to share the stage with Jean-Rene Martin.

It rained on and off most of yesterday and continued through the night, but Jess (my co-pilot) and I are water-proofed and master tarpers, so we are still in good spirits. All of our gear dried out today while we took a walk on the beach at Taylor's Point.

The sound is set up at the Gendron General Store in the British Heritage Village. Roger Martin, a country singer from the Maria Reserve will join me on stage tonight at 8pm, I look forward to meeting him.

Since we left, the dog has been living every day (or maybe I should say morning) to the fullest...and crashing by 6pm. Last night, she actually brought me over to my tent and ask me to open the door so she could curl up in her blanket.

The Sharman Tank is holding up well, but smells a lot like a wet dog right now (I promise I will air it out before returning it to you Chach and Jarrod)

Not much more to report at the moment. Everyone on the coast is exceptionally friendly, and I feel very welcome here.

btw for anyone trying to reach me by phone, I have no cell service out here, but all of the campsites we have stopped at so far have Wi-Fi, so I will try to check my email as often as I can.

Hope to see you at the General Store tonight!
Stay tuned for more news!
