Hey folks, just finishing the first of my day tours with three regular clients from Upstate New York. They come down once a year to work with me, play some shows. Played my 360 show Saturday, the Bluebird last night, the Commodore tonight with Allen Shervelle, and 360 tomorrow night with Allen.
Gerald, this is how the tour works. I was at the Cracker Barrel resturant today waiting to meet them. All of a sudden at the door was WOOD NEWTON, my co-writer of Too Much Blood, and a Grammy Award winning writer and producer. He and his wife just happen to come in on the way to the store. I had them sit down and waited on the guys. They came in a few minutes and we all sat down and talked. They got to ask Wood questions and he told stories and about his other love,golf. Wood is a HUGE GOLFER and more deals go down on the golf course than any pitch meetings.
Turns out two of the guys are co-owners in a GOLF COURSE in upstate New York. The bottom line is that next year, Wood, myself and another writer will be going to New York to do shows, a workshop and I will be doing private appointments. Wood and the other golfer will be playing golf.
And those guys will now know and probably be writing with Wood and some other writers when they come to town.
THAT IS WHY IT IS A 'TOUR'. Never know where it is going.
