I write this newest entry from a kitchen in Swift Current filled with the sound of early morning birdsong. An artist and songwriter herself, our gracious host Helen Gauvin has kindly offered us a comfy bed and a home cooked meal while we overnight here in Swift Current. Packed, with guitars and suitcases at the door, I have a few moments to catch my breath and enjoy a fantastic cup of coffee and a home made muffin. My touring partner Lyn and I have had a great and very busy last few days. And we have agreed that the weather angels are on our side. The weather has been perfect for cruising across the prairies in the wide open air of a convertible. The venues and people we have met along the way have been a highlight. Amazingly, at least one songwriter has come out to every show and we have never had an empty sea of chairs to sing our birdsongs to. I'll add more when we get to Medicine Hat later today for a show. We just realized that they may be one hour ahead so we need to do a time check with the cute coffee house that I have booked us...The Mad Hatter Roastery is the next stop on the road. With the sounds of last night's beautiful and impromptu accordion performance by our talented and wonderful host in my head, we will make our way out of Saskatchewan on into Alberta suntanned and rested.
