Wichita, KS
We had another great show last night in Oklahoma City. I got to see some friends of mine, David & Tracy, who drove up from Dallas and their friends, Richard and his wife. I wanted to spend some time with them, so I didn't get a chance to go out into the lobby and greet people : ( sorry.

The drive to Wichita was pretty short, so we stayed up on the bus and watched a movie (Bruce Almighty) and laughed all the way there. The show in Wichita went really well. I got to see a lot of the fans after the show, especially my friend, Andrea, who drove all the way from Utah! It was nice to finally meet her in person.

By the way, I would like to say, "Happy Birthday" to my brother-in-law, Bill (Bouka)!!!! Sorry I couldn't be there this time, but I'll see you soon. We're off to Omaha.

Oklahoma City Show
I just wanted to let everyone know that yesterday afternoon Jim (the French Horn player) and I took a walk over to the Oklahoma City National Memorial Park. It's the site of the bombing which happened almost 9 years ago. I still can't believe it's been 9 years. It was a very sobering experience for us. Afterwards, I didn't feel like going out. Yanni was having a dinner for the band, but I didn't feel up to going. I just wanted to go back to the hotel and talk with my family. Something like seeing that memorial really puts things in perspective.

It's Thursday afternoon now, and I'm looking forward to the show tonight. I really want to play well for these people here in Oklahoma City. I hope they enjoy the show and I look forward to meeting some of them personally afterwards.

Oklahoma City
Well, it was another long bus ride here, but I'm getting used to sleeping on the bus again, so it wasn't too bad. We have today off, so that will help.

I have some good friends coming to the show tomorrow night (David and Tracy), so I'm looking forward to seeing them again!

I think I'm just going to take it easy tonight and get some rest. I'll probably stay in and watch the re-run of The Sopranos. We don't have HBO at home because of the kids, so this will be a treat for me ( :

I just wish my wife was here to watch it with me. : (

San Antonio
We had a great show in El Paso last night. I met a lot of nice fans after the show again
( :

It was a long drive to San Antonio (Texas is so big) and we have the day off, so that will help.

Wow, what a beautiful city. I had never been here before. We're staying downtown and I'm very impressed with the beauty of this city. A couple of band members and I took a walk around the city, we even had time to go and see "The Alamo."
