"Emotional Baggage Bard Tour" 2/8-2/12/17  Into the Heart of the Storm and Out of the Tour in One Piece (Syracuse,  Saratoga Springs and Rochester NY) Greetings my fellow adventurers!  When we last met I'd passed out at my grandmother's house on February 8th after a very successful performance experience in New York City's "Parkside Lounge". I woke up at my Grandmother's house to an unrealistically beautiful day with summer weather in the 60s.  We had a huge breakfast together, caught one another up on our personal goings on and what was happening that we knew of throughout the branches of family happenings.  After breakfast, I worked out in my late Grandfather's basement gym.

It took me about an hour and a half through the rain and traffic to get there.  I listened to...
