Special guest blog from the other half.


Jeffrey Allan Edgel the First here. I got pressured into making a guest appearance on the blog, so here goes nothing. The blog does have my name on it, so I guess it's only appropriate. Forgive me if I repeat anything Molly has said...
We are less than a week away from having a 51 day stretch of traveling. We will get to stop at home once or twice, in between trips, for some relaxing lawn mowing, bill paying, house cleaning, and perhaps a few hours of sleep.
Lately, I have been trying to take more random photos out on the road, just to help document our journeys. So without any further ado, bring on the photos!

On your right, you will see a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed Jeffrey, freshly awakened from his bench seat in the van. We drove through the night to Connecticut for a show.

Generally, our meals on the road are provided by the promoter of each show. This is a great blessing from a financial standpoint, and can be a great reprieve from fast food as well. Usually, the all-star church ladies will cook something, but occasionally a promoter will take us to a restaurant somewhere, which is fun too. On the left, we are hitting up some authentic Bristol, CT Mexican food. Below was spinach-loaded Greek pizza in Hartford, CT. (Don't worry, I had pepperoni.)

Exploring a venue can be fun, and they come in all shapes and sizes. Being in New England provided some very historical churches. One dated all the way back to the 1600's, and it was actually visited by George Washington and John Quincy Adams when they were in town. Below is a shot of the front tower.

Since we use all of our own sound and lights, we generally don't have a ton of down time during the day of a show. But every once in a while, we manage to get some random activities squeezed in. Here are some random shots taken during the "downtime".














Okay, well that's enough randomness for one blog. 
THE END.
