Budapest, Paks Gastroblues, day 1

Well, off to a great start. There were supposed to be weather delays yesterday, thunderstorms in Budapest. We had none of it, buthe Danube is really at a very high flood stage from all the rain that they've been having. ű

So, spent the day in Budapest with Ferci and the gand from T. Rogers Blues band. Great rehearsal yesterday, too much to drink, and spicy cabbage and sausage for breakfast! It doesn't get any better than this! the best part of this trip (so far) has been hanging out at the Fregatt Blues Bar and getting caught up with these guys. That, and getting a chance to wander around Budapest some more, last trip I really didn't have time. We have tomorrow off, so I actually get to be a tourist for a chance.

But first things first. This afternoon we're off to Paks for the festival. Stay tuned for photos and details. But tell you what, we need to bring this band to Scotland for the blues bonanza, they're really that good. Funky, in a Robben Ford kind of vibe.

Video too, I think. Video for sure.

Oh, yeah, my voice is coming back fine. Singing today should be no problem. after a week of mumbling and whispering, I am ready to throw down tonight.
