I wish the fly that was buzzing around my house would fly away as quickly as time flies, but alas I fear not.

It seems like just yesterday I was still looking forward to their visit and quick as it came the time is gone. Just a few hours ago I watched them pack up the van and back down the driveway. Of course that was after an unanticipated trip to the doctor to get the meds they needed to nurse one back to health. So, the band is back on the road, all six of them, four now married, hauling their trailer down the road and walking their path through the young stages of adulthood. It’s amazing how far they have come, it seems only yesterday they were young. Now grown and facing the challenges of the world they travel cross country, back on tour, living their dreams, yet trust me life on the road is not all it seems.

Previous tours have seen some crazy stories from broken axels to a case of mistaken identity when the police pulled them all out of their van at gunpoint. But they handle it with grace and style, calmly and with determination. I almost hate to wonder what this tour will bring, but no matter what might lie in their path it’s an adventure. So as we hope the album with the Sony records affiliate takes off, they meet the right people, and their years of work pay off, no matter what, we know that they have learned far more from their few years on the road than they would have had they not taken the road less traveled.
