Here’s the craziest part of this whole tour: I LOVE The Handsome Family’s music SO much and have for quite some time now. And I get to listen to them play after each Wildewood set once I get my things out of the way. Their songs transport me to the time when Wildewood was first playing together and I was much younger and much more foolish (except for my taste in music, of course).

Alex is sitting in on piano for Tiny Tina right now and Greg is enjoying a beer with James and Jesse. They have ended up being so helpful and fun to hang out with, and I’m not surprised. I’m writing this from the half of Axe & Fiddle that is a darkened closed book store.

Goodnight from Cottage Grove.
