10 January 2006--Alberta
Hey lover,
I've become utterly, ridiculously emotional this tour. Was so hesitant to leave you and am surprised that the call to the road is never less inviting, but never less heartbreaking. I resorted to taking Findlay along, my trusty, accepting (stuffed) sidekick as support. He squeezes into a suitcase just dandy. Was feeling quite foolish about it until I realized what a superb driver and navigator he is--really eases the burdens of touring.
Performed at two house concerts (both birthday parties) which helped pull me out of this funk. I do love a good birthday and seek out excuses for celebration at every corner! Findlay accompanied me onward to Edmonton, the home of my first CD, so it's filled with nostalgia and my sweet girl Alison whose futon is as familiar as her idiosyncracies, which never cease to fill me with affection.
Looking forward to a few more shows in Edmonton, then back to Calgary for the house concert, where this overflow of emotion can find an outlet. (Ah but the focus is technique! Technique, true enough!) Dear lord, save the crowds. And the other thing that preoccupies me is the thought of a reunion, not too far off. It's a short tour, and the thought of that simple kiss (unassuming at first, are your eyes opened or closed?, then more intense though not intentionally) follows me everywhere.
Love C
