Hey friends...summer is nearly over but there's time to squeeze in one more road trip - this one along Route 66 to Flagstaff, where after a couple of days ogling the Grand Canyon I will be putting my son Ivan on a train to Chicago to start his life in college.

Some years back we journeyed together along that same road in the opposite direction, on the way home from a New Mexico tour.  While he slept in the passenger seat, lightning cracked above us and I found a station playing Native American drums.  We met two guys along the way who had a human cannonball act and were driving their cannon to the next circus town.  That night became the inspiration for the song 'The Night She Learned to Drive,' which is on the album 'Tangle-Free World.'

I'm then headed down to Tucson, where I'll be playing a solo acoustic set at The Red Room.  Please come on down if you're in the area, or let your Arizona friends know. 

Happy trails,

Anny
