I learned my lesson last summer, and just like when I came to NYC for a show with Brian Langlinais this past February, I booked us a hotel over the river in NJ for our 2 night stay in the NYC area. Our first night was night off and I finally got a workout in [...]

When WW and I started putting this trip together, our friend and chief support in the Northeast came up with a plan to get the Wilkins family together in Cooperstown, NY on Father’s Day.

WW and I packed the van and headed off to Tomball, TX for our first show at Main Street Crossing. Austin musician Patterson Barrett joined [...]
