"Emotional Baggage Bard Tour" 2/7 A Return to NYC and The Inspired Word Greetings wonderful wondering wanderers! So continues my journeys after exploring and performing in New England and leaving  Rhode Island with a full stomach courtesy of Geoff's Superlative Sandwiches and Drent's generosity and heading south to return to New York City to perform as feature at Michael Geffner's Inspired Word series at Parkside Lounge .  On the last tour I did, the "NovEmbark Tour", I made my debut here at the onset of Thanksgiving week, and Mike was kind enough shortly after to invite me back for a second feature opportunity!

The "Emotional Baggage Bard Tour" (in reference to my song  "Travel Baggage (Carry On)"  This is yet another independently arranged venture with the help of some friends.
