When we last left our heroes, they'd just completed a run of 8 shows with a spot at the Bloomington Garlic festival and it was time for some well deserved R&R.

Oh Rosie. 

The wonderful Pete from back to nature cabins offered to put us up for a couple of nights, which we gladly accepted. You're a legend Pete.

Now they say what goes on tour stays on tour, so I shall keep the mention of the hot tub very brief. There was a hot tub. It really puts farting in the bath to shame. Pants optional.

Also I wound up having to share a bed with Theo, due to a slight bed deficit.

Or so he said.

There may have been spooning.

I cant quite say.

Moving on.

Dave and Marget invted us out for a labor day moment on the water. Theo thought this was just fine by him.

 I pretty much knew I was in the right spot instantly. ARRR!!

 We ate, drank, swam and jammed.

Bill & Roscoe practised for the KC gig.

In fact, I had a cracker of a marketing idea. 12 months of Roscoe

Here's some R&R Moments on Vid.

The next day we took some down time in the cabins, where Jo decided it was time to play her newly acquired acoustic guitar.

 Whilst we absorbed the scenery. 

Leaving Bloomington

Bummer.

Breakfast on the way out with Dave. Cheers Dave.

The Indiana leg of our tour was outstanding and our gratitude list too long for entertainment purposes.

We owe a great deal of thanks to Mark and Dave for making it happen, and our great affection goes to all the Hoosiers who brought us such kindness.

Day 15

I knew D-Dawg would be spinning some 78's in KC that Wednesday at an obscure back alley bar. That meant a long drive out of Indiana, back across Illinois, stopping in St Louis for some Zico action (hey Z!) and then making a dash for X's folks place and a night downtown in KC. 

 Next Ep 

Stormcellar comes to KC

'Frank wont stop dancing and drinking with those aussies'

Howdy Folks.

In the studio today working on what we're calling the 'Medical grade' mix (i.y.h.t.a.y.n.k) of Rock River, where we turn all the verb effects up.

Mr Wizard thinks too much verb is for Newbs, so we have a 'clean' mix as well, but I was after something inspired by some early Pink Floyd soundtrack stuff.

I cant share the final Rock River mix yet (so many rules I have to follow sheesh) but here's a great piece of dirty, aural fuzz from the floyd.

 This lady won Theo and my Barmaid Of The Night. Service with a smile at Muddy Waters venue in Bettendorf, Iowa

The night was presented by the venue and The Iowa Blues Society and it was a fantastic. A great way to finish the tour. Thanks to the manager and Steve Brundie  and the Mississippi Valley Blues Society Society and Steve Jones at Crossroads Bues Society in Illinois.

Did I mention we're playing Shady Pines on Saturday? They don't advertise. In fact they don't even have a sign.

But we'll be there from 6-10.

The entrance is in Palmer lane, off Crown street, just a few steps down from the corner of Crown and Oxford. Free entry but it gets kinda busy.

We liked the idea of going to Warilla so much we made an Ad:

We're back on deck this coming Friday,

Tonight! down south with special guest Jo Fitzgerald. From 8:30. Ish.
