Bloomfield Hills, MI - The Midwest is testing my usually stealth ninja folksinger ways.

Chicago, IL - Kaelin's interpretation of my song, Stained Glass. Which is, of course, a lot cooler than my own interpretation. Kids rule!

Glen Ellyn, IL - A nice interlude with Carrie, Jennifer, and Andrew Calhoun before dropping of Carrie at the train station.

Chicago, IL - Yep, huge in Chicago.

Peewaukee, WI - Carrie's folks take us ice fishing on our day off. The lake was beautiful. The whiskey was delicious. But pretty sure the fish were all dead because of the three foot thick ice sheet on top of them.

Fennville, MI - Carrie puts herself together after the show at Salt Of The Earth.
