Looking for America

Was allowed in having been finger printed and photographed! Out of the airport to first gig; opening for Lucy Kaplansky. Jet lag makes for edgy performances. Took a deep breath and sang American Novel, string broke as I went into last verse, I’m still alive! They loved it! Great reaction in Philadelphia and tonight in Vienna, Virginia..about 30 mins drive from downtown Washington D.C. Nine hour drive tomorrow, then start my own shows. Wonderful moment yesterday when Arnold Palmer came up 18th at Augusta. His fiftieth and last year in the tournament. I was there in 93 when Bernhard Langer won; I was on tour with Clannad and it was the last time I seriously toured here.
