Long Story Short

Apologies for not keeping you updated while I was on the train, but the internet access was pretty shocking.  Here's the long story short...

After a lot of last minute cramming, I finally managed to get a stack of cover songs together...

I was pretty nervous about the long journey...

Mainly because of my tendency towards motion sickness...

But with a little help from my friends, I managed to survive...

At first, I was a bit disturbed by the cramped living quarters on the train...

The complimentary chocolate helped to ease the pain...

But actually, once I figured out how to set up my bed...

It proved to be quite cosy...

I had plenty of time to relax...

And to reflect on things... :)

The views were incredible...

 

We had a brief stop over in Winnipeg which weirdly reminded my of Paris...?

I performed in the dome ceiling section of the old Union station for the passengers waiting to board the train...the acoustics were amazing!

All of my shows were well received. I managed to get everyone singing along.  There were a few really special moments, like having everyone sing in the chorus to Joni Mitchell's 'Circle Game' - it was so beautiful, it gave me goose bumps...

Speaking of which, one passenger lives in the same town as Joni Mitchell and promised to try her best to deliver this to her...

I met so many kind and interesting people...

 

I even drank whiskey with the Golden Girls...

I stuck especially close to anyone willing to buy me wine :)...This is Norm - He was my favorite, I got teary when I said goodbye to this one...

This has been one of the most memorable musical adventures I've had so far...and its not over yet...

I'm in Vancouver now and I'm looking forward to seeing where the next part of this road will take me...
