Memphis, TN

Hello Again, "It's been an age" since my last post and it's been quite and interesting and amazing week or so. I guess I will start from were I last left you. Orange, TX (Nov. 30) where the temp was about 80 degrees or so. We then traveled to Ft. Smith, AR (Dec. 1) for another one evening engagement, which during this and the last leg after christmas will have plenty of . Our next stop brought us to some little spot in Kansas for our layover to Ft. Collins, CO. We had been in Ft. Collins before during a layover to Montana and thought this could be a nice venue because it was on the Colorado State campus and had a old town feel. This time we are there for 4 whole days with 5 performances. But "its beginning to look alot like christmas" because the night we get in to Ft. Collins (Dec. 3) it snows about 9 to 10 inches. They had a show the evening we got in and which the theatre ghost of Lincoln Center had his or her fun with every scene. But, the show must go on and they did a great job moving through all the mishaps. After all thats showbiz. The theater ghost pretty much left them alone after that crazy night for another great run. We did get the hotel to shuttle us to Wal-Mart and picked up some gifts for our Secret Santa's along with some supplies. We also walked in the snow and had a snowball fight or two and the cast got another understudy rehearsal under their belt. Then its a trip to Rapid City, SD (Dec. 7) for a 2 day engadement. We managed to visit Mount Rushmore as a field trip for school, you have to check out the pictures. It was amazing! Now on the road again to our next stop Baton Rouge, LA (Dec. 12) with 2 layovers one yesterday in Missouri and today now in Memphis which was fun. The parents and I walked the kids down to Beale St. and ate catfish and ribs at BB King's Blues Club while listeneng to the band. The kids even got some stage time there giving shout outs to some of the Oliver cast and crew that also decided to eat there. Well its time to go. We have an early bus call tomorrow. I will add the rest of the photos as soon as I can.

Love Ya,
John & Q
