Spent some time in Paris after the spring tour to do a bit of writing and was lucky enough to hook up with

                 some great friends - and amazing musicians - Chapeau, Framboise, Gross and Daniel. Stayed in a great little atelier

                 right in the heart of the city.

                  Spent days working on new material and nights hanging out with these guys - members of two great

                  bands, The Blue Genes and Band on the Run.

                Daniel, Chapeau, Gross and Framboise are all veteran street musicians. Had a great time busking and imbibing.    

      A blow-by-blow of my first raw oyster. I swore I wouldn't do it but, egged on by Billy Chapeau and Charlotte Framboise, it turned out

      I had no choice.

     Despite all the great distractions I did manage to get a lot of writing done. We'll be including the new tunes on the next

     tour......see you then.
