Today I tried out the busking rig for the first time in public. My new friend Akim (from Belize) that I met last night in Metalkova called me and insisted on taking me to the city center to help me find a good spot and watch me play. I picked him up and off we went.
Hey y’all, since I last talked you I have made the 8 hour drive between Bamberg and Ljubliana, with a couple of detours to see some points of interest along the way. I drove 3 1/2 hours on Friday and spent the night in an inexpensive guesthouse in Großholzhausen, near Rosenheim, Germany, in the foothills of the Alps. The place…
Yesterday I went to the giant music store near Bamberg called Thomann and purchased a battery powered rechargeable amp, a microphone, mic stand, tablet holder (for lyric), and various other musical odds and ends. Along with Anna Maria’s old guitar from when she took lessons as a teenager, I now have everything I need to set up and play music…
Met up with another old pal today, Christian Schneider or “Sneids” as his buddies call him. He went to school with my wife, and he used to be one of the big party animals in those days – so needless to say we got along very well back then! He’s a little calmer these days, as he’s married to one…
Today was a good day. I finally got to link up with my old buddy Moritz and he took me to the Mahr’s Bräu Brewery in Bamberg, one of my old stomping grounds from the days when I was living in Bamberg after the I got out of the Army from 2005-06.
I’m checking in with you from Breitengüßbach, Germany and my in-laws house. After flying for 7 1/2 hours and riding the train for 3 hours to get here, all on 2 hours of sleep, I’m just about dead. Ready to pass out for about 12 hours of restful sleep and get ready for the day tomorrow. Hoping that since I…
I’m at my last stop before Europe! Thanks to Condor airlines changing my flight twice from what I originally booked, I have an 8 hour layover in Toronto and had to get up at 6am to get my flight here from Boston – just to sit for 8 hours. Mostly was aggravated about that because it meant I had to…
I’m running on fumes. Shouldn’t have stayed up so late messing with my blog!
I am all packed and ready to go. Ready to go to sleep like I should be? No. I’m too excited to embark on this journey!
But I’ve had a lot of people who have heard about my upcoming adventure in Eastern Europe implore me to become one, so I have decided to give it a try. I plan on detailing the places I go, people I meet, the music I make and hear, and any tips that I can give from my experiences. I hope you enjoy the adventures of the “Big Job”!
