A Swiss Weekend with 6 shows! Goodness!

Greetings! This weekend has been busy, wonderful, relaxing and lots of hard work!  Joseph and I took the train 7 hours to Heiden, Switzerland and played in the evening. We then drove with the ever so thoughtful, Hans Duerr, to Lohn, Switzerland after the concert.  Hans organized a few shows for us-one Saturday morning and two Saturday evening. Then we played in a church service on Sunday morning and since the sermon was centered around Noah and the Ark, we sang "The Lord Told Noah to Build Him and Arky Arky".  That, my friends, is a funny children's song. It seemed fitting, though. 

Tonight we had a proper concert in Kirche Lohn with a beautiful audience. Here are two photos from tonight's show in Lohn.  We got the audience to sing along with us on a few tunes, too!

It has been a great weekend, thanks to Hans Duerr!

How to Pick up a Guy at the Airport!

You ready?  This is how I picked up a man at the Frankfurt, Germany Airport today!

Little sun dress, red painted nails, a love note and a broken computer...yep.

Our date once he arrived? ...To the Mac/Apple Store...oh, yes, very romantic.  I know the way to this man's heart.  We got my computer fixed, had a nice lunch, headed back to Friedberg on the train and cooked up some good food.

Oh yes, my man, Joseph, came over to hang and play some music with me in Europe :o) ...and for that, I am really thankful!

We head to Switzerland in the morning to meet up with the fabulous Hans Duerr and to play a few songs in Heiden.

To all the swiss folks that would like to come and hear us play...
Friday-Heiden
Saturday-Lohn and in Schaffhausen
Sunday-Lohn

Out in the Country with Horses

Greetings!

Today I was out in the country near Friedberg with my friend Marion.  She takes care of a few horses and so she invited me to go along.  There was this sweet white pony named Ernie and several beautiful horses.  We hung out and I sang Swing Low, Sweet Chariot to them...and tried to talk with them.  If you pet their nose they smile. It is the cutest thing!  Here is Marion with her horse, too.

In the morning I will head to pick up my man from the airport! He's pretty awesome.  Yep, I am excited about that!

Love,

2 Love birds at train station

Yesterday I had breakfast and a radio interview with the lovely Anika Wiesbeck in Baden-Baden.  We rushed to the train, snapped this photo and said our goodbyes.

I took the train to Friedberg and waited for a friend.  I was there for a few hours so I bought an ice cream and soaked in a little sun outside in the front of the station.  After a while I got a little bored so I pulled out my guitar and started playing.

About 30 minutes later these two sweet folks (love birds) approached me and started listening to the tunes.  They were both blind but knew their way around the city.  They were so cute...so in love and exchanging sweet little kisses with each other the whole time.

They told me about how they love country music and would love to go to Nashville someday..maybe for their wedding when they "win the lottery", they said. They asked me to play a few tunes and I did.  The woman has such a love for music and such a soft heart that she started crying while I was singing. They were both so precious and encouraging.

At the end of it, they insisted on buying me a water, buying my new album and they even invited me to dinner with them. I let the guy play my guitar and he played "Country Road" and I sang a little harmony.

They want to come to my show in September :o)  It was a cool day! Such nice folks.  In traveling one can encounter all kinds of beautiful people.

Mental Massage? Yes please.

I think it would be amazing to get a mental massage on days where your head was full of tension, confusion and stress.  Is there such a thing? ... Where all of the peices would fit back into place and you would feel renewed? Ah! That would be lovely.

Maybe..therapists, counselors, social workers, or friends that are good listeners perform this...

Strange thoughts tonight.  All is well.

Busking on the streets of Baden-Baden...well, sort of...

After 3 1/2 days on my own at my friend's place (she is awesome to let me have her place, by the way :o) I was bored out of my mind and thought that I would take my guitar to the center of town and play a few tunes.  I ended up meeting a busker under a tree and we played some Johnny Cash tunes and gospel tunes together.  

He told me of his life and struggles in the past couple years and instead of playing lots of songs, we had a conversation about life, perspective and being right-brained.  You never know what you'll come across in traveling. 

Tomorrow I head out to Friedberg (Hessen), Germany to play a show at a girls home with my friend Tess. I will get to see my friend Marion again which makes me smile.  Next week starts the Swiss part of the tour and I am really looking forward to those shows. 

Many blessings to you!

Love,
