Ahoy!
Show number three. There was a slightly different transportation setup today as we traveled to Rotterdam from Amsterdam by train. We always enjoy European trains (except of course the UK). The travel plan was born out of the difficulty we had making this journey by car 3 years ago. Rotterdam traffic is notorious but the trains run every 15 minutes. We also did our first meet and greet tonight and it was the full band this time with Matt on piano and John on fiddle.


John with his cittern

Thanks Henk Pestman for sending me this shot

Glenn Saggers and Ben Byford chat about guitar sounds probably.

Yep, that's better.
After the show it was business as usual as the band did a runner to the airport where we boarded the Embrair once again and were whisked away on our magic carpet ride to Barcelona. All of us except for poor Glenn Worf. His ear problem means that he can't fly so he and Pete Mackay traveled to Paris and then on to Barca by train. They will arrive early in the morning of the Barcelona show. That's a long journey!
