Last Show of the Tour


The Last show of the Tour, 110 days later, the end!

This was a little spot off of the Saratoga Bike Path, I started my warming up here the night before the last show.

Full Moon, getting peace at a near by cemetary and singing before the show

I have always admired this place, Cafe Lena, Just voted the best small venue in North America by the International Folk Alliance

the oldest continuously operating coffeehouse in the United States


This photos actually taken the morning after. It was such a strange morning. In 4,000 miles of road navagating, I can actually say I felt a bit lost. and i realized I didn't have any pics or footage of the last show, so I had to snap a quick shot of the stage at Lena's. A stage that many had played on. Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie, and other great legands.



The after party



friends and family



and more friends!

Troy, NY

in the store frontage ahead is there is a coffee shop where fox news interviewed me. more on this to come...
Myself and Dave Michaels, of WEXT I went to their studios and did an interview and live performance.


I really like this little town, Troy. Some how when I was having coffee the news called the cafe to speak with me. They came down and did a clip. It's great to have positive news.

bike paths to Albany


I slept by the tracks in Chahoes. The building above actually has an imprint of an Indian Head on that white portion, it's some sort of factory.

Albany

follow the yellow brick road




this is where laws are made, the capital building

Albany , I thought I knew you. Everything looks different now. I will not see things the same. It's been years since I've been to Albany.
