Th April 8

Baltimore, MD
Last show!!! Andrea is here. David Whittemore, David Jurecki and Patricia Rios all flew in to see the last show and to attend a big meeting and tree planting ceremony with the Autism Society in Washington DC tomorrow. It was a great last show and Yanni had a party for the band at the hotel. See you all next tour. Thanks, Charlie.

 

We April 7

Reading, PA
I can’t believe it, two shows to go. Being here in Reading, PA, I’m reminded of the Monopoly game. Probable one of the most enthusiastic audiences of the tour. I went with Yanni on his Lear jet tonight after the show flying to Baltimore. I had to get there faster because Andrea is waiting for me in Baltimore.

 

Tu April 6

Syracuse, NY
Feeling a lot better today. The concert went very well. Probably the oldest arena that we ever played. It looked like something out of a 1930’s movie. I got to meet Amy Robinson and her family. They have two autistic children, also. We had a great conversation after the show. It was very encouraging because their older son was showing almost no signs of autism now. Keep on being a great mom, Amy.

 

Mo April 5

Syracuse, NY
Day off. It’s snowing here. The crew and the band, one by one, have been getting sick. Well, I finally got it. I think it’s strep throat, so I went to the hospital today to get a shot. Turns out the doctor was a Yanni fan and was going to the show tomorrow. I told him he better make me well because I don’t know what Yanni sounds like without drums.

 

Su April 4

Portland, ME
Life is so rough on the road. Tonight at catering we had steak and Lobster. Man, it’s a rough life.

 

Sa April 3
Providence, RI
Wow, it’s getting colder and colder. I actually went to some stores today to try to find some gloves and a hat. The band and the crew sometimes think I’m crazy because I have a space heater behind me on the drumset. I need to be warm, otherwise I can’t play.
