What the heck — here’s another little update from me.

I just spent the last few hours getting ready for my trip to Poland tomorrow. I’ll be meeting up with Pat Mastelotto and Trey Gunn — together we are Tu-Ner — for two concerts this weekend.

We’ll have a rehearsal on Thursday, then play in Katowice on Friday, and in Opole on Saturday. I’ll be back home on Monday.

The last few hours have been the usual pre-tour chaos: collecting my Touch Guitars® T8 and gear from the studio, checking every cable, adapter, and making sure the pedalboard still boots up (luckily, it does). Then carefully packing everything — instruments, cases, clothes, toiletries, medication, all the small but essential things. Five days away, five sets of underwear.

Tomorrow will be a long day: I have an important doctor’s appointment in the early morning, and right after that, I’ll have to rush to the airport to catch my flights. It’s always like this — the preparation, the anticipation — it takes a lot out of me. Once I’m on the road and things are moving, it usually feels fine. But until then, it’s hard.

That’s really all I can share tonight. Wish us luck for the rehearsals and the two shows.

I’ll try to send another update from the road.

Thanks for listening.
