Joie Todd and Jeremy prepare themselves and the Little Silver Streak for the assault on NYC. Elisa with Jefferson's greatest creation. And I'm INCLUDING UVa... Here's a disturbing link concerning the Bush's proposed funding for Amtrak and why it would kill the railroad ...

Before anyone can dig around Monticello, archeologists have to be called in to make sure there's nothing important. Here they are having to put in another wall to keep the old stone one from collapsing. This is the very first monument to George Washington. Erected by the state of Maryland. The area of town is called Mt. Vernon after his estate in Va. He was a Virginian, I should remind you...

I hope you all haven't forgotten that we're still out here! That was a 5 show in a row roll filled with parents, former football coaches, cousins, early train departures, head colds, broken guitar necks, beer, smoke, regional trains, subways, ice storms, politics, radio, old friends, new friends and fun. FUN. I was able to jot a few notes, and I'm gonna try and write this all out when

Let's pick up a few missed spots due to blocked blog ... and some pix! 01/28 Birmingham, AL Workplay Theater From morning television to sports talk radio, I invited the city of Birmingham to come rock the night away. (Wearing my lucky Vol socks for good measure).   01/29 Atlanta, GA Smith's Olde Bar Now the band has arrived and we prepare for sound check. "The pot is on the stove

I can feel the pain in the air after last night's loss in the Superbowl. For those of you who don't know, the superbowl is where we show the world how obnoxious our entertainment industry is while selling beers and cars. And occasionly, as was last night, there is a good game on... "WE'RE GATHERING STEAM" as we say in the railroad business. Todd Steed's uncle, BS Owen came down to see

With a small but mighty crowd, New Orleans took us back. Same with Hattiesburg and then last night Jackson, Mississippi. The rock is on in fine form, I believe. And now we are gathering steam. A show for Tuscaloosa tonight and then Birmingham will need to prepare. The trains rides are FANTASTIC. I'll post some picutures before too long. Amtrak has two for one buddy passes they're giving away,

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.... The Sun'll come out tomorrow.... If I leave here tomorrow... And I do leave here tomorrow. I'll do my best to keep up with entries; I have no idea who will read these things. Hopefully, they'll make some sort of sense. All Aboard the Amtrak Crescent! Thanks to all who have helped put this tour together: Amtrak ( Caroline, Hank), Sugar Hill, Molly Nagel,
