EUROPEAN TOUR Summer 2016
My hat is off to Chris Ma from the UK, Tommi from Finland, Anne-Marie and her husband Sivert, and John Taney, a native of Scotland, with special guest star George Tandy from the USA. Molde, Norway Jason and I stayed at an Airbnb for a few days. When we left, walking to the bus station, the young girl pictured below quickly made a going away card show- ing Jason and me walking around the world from Norway, a pink heart glued to the side. With her big sister, they bolted to the bus station to give us the card before we left the town. We were not there when she arrived, so they started walking home, discouraged. A few minutes later, we appeared walking toward the bus station, and her eyes lit up. It was very touching.
I did a walkabout in the summer of 2016 with my oldest son, Jason. Our mission was to seek out music festivals in Scan- dinavia. We started in Denmark, went to our first Jazz festival in Pori, Finland, and our second in Molde, Norway, and finally headed to Scotland for nine days in Edinburgh, including a drive in the highlands. Before the trip, I made it a mission to write a book, draw every minute of the day, write 20 songs, and lose 10 pounds. Here is that book, it has a few poems and lots of drawings. I never did lose the 10 pounds. Jason had a local person meet us at each location to take us around. In this way, we could deeply dive into the culture and form lifelong friendships.
