Did Spring just Sprung?

Ok....the civil war played out with the weather last night. The southern warm front marched up and hit the Polar vortex from the north: there was rain and thunder and lightening. But on a scale of 1-10 it was a 2.

We rocked and the wind made us shake but compared to what we have experienced in the past last night's storm was nothing. Today (the 26th) it  was humid and nearly hit 70*.  How did that happen?

My natural instinct in the RV during a storm is to half sleep because, usually, we are at a show location and I half to keep an ear out for trouble (things breaking from the wind and a myriad  of other problems...remember in the past I was alone in the Rv during the travels....this is our first year with the cool new rv where we are all here..) So  I did not sleep well.  It is my hope that tonight I will sleep well. But then again on tour I rarely sleep as much as I do at home and it is good. But at home I slept badly due to the lousy neighborhood...three car break ins in 5 years, over $1000 of equipment  from my van, and random attempts to break into neighbors' homes.  (For the record,,,,,I invite anyone willing to do it while I am there....I will get to introduce you to God.

The weather is really the only news.  However, on the "side new"s area.....James is talking with a church in Atlanta about a special Easter service. It is a mega church and we want only to honor God when we do church shows....mega church or not.   I am in talks for some possible June and later gigs. I am also going to self produce a slew of shows in May.  That was once my specialty and I had a dream about it last night. It reminded me of what I used to do.  I did it in Cali for years but changes in rules and laws made it impossible to do anymore in the socialist state of California. We had created a special market niche about 5 years ago and the niche was killed by Cali regulations and certain cities' rules. (land of the free........ my white hairy.....head.)
But out here in Rand Paul land, where theres is a bit of opportunity for the one who dreams it might work. (sorry I don't share more about it it but it is an opportunity that I don't want others to take advantage of  before us.)

I suppose I should share one cool place in Berea that we have known about but visited for the first time today.  There is  a little Amish themed cafe/store. Everything is made within 500 miles of here. We don't have the spare change to get anything so we went ahead and bought 3 cans of birch beer (like root beer ....sorta) at .65 cents each.   We taped a tasting of it.    I can say it is like rootbeer but stronger.
