I start out on Monday morning in Prince Albert and lay my head on a pillow that night in Regina. Somewhere in the day, I drive in the sunny open air to Saskatoon to pick up Lyn and drive on to Moose Jaw for our show at the Java Express Coffee House on Main. After saying goodbye to our beds, a week of couch surfing lies ahead and the road tour officially begins. We chatter like happy little squirrels all the way down to Moose Jaw. The coffee house where I have booked us to play is right on Main Street and in an old heritage building. The gypsy theme seems to be sticking with us as the upper level of the coffee house has a boutique called "The Wandering Gypsy". We immediately feel right at home and are both fed and watered by the manager Taylor, a fantastic guy who happens to be moving to Winnipeg in the next few months.
Midway through the show a little wandering gypsy girl drifts into the coffee house to watch. After making some new friends and fans, we make our way to Regina to stay at Lyn's brother's house for the next 2 nights. Half asleep when we arrive, I am awake enough to notice the banjo and drum kit in the basement and look forward to making some pretty sounds in the morning. But first, I think I'll wait till Lyn has had her morning cup of coffee. If you are ever passing through Moose Jaw, stop by the Java Express for a coffee and say hello to the wandering gypsy girl.
