4/19/14 day 12: Walksfelde, Germany

Beautiful day today. Woke up to sunshine and chirping birds. The trees are bluming and the fields of flax are yellow, yellow. Blue skies, yellow fields, rolling hills, wind mills in the distance. It's so peaceful out here.

Had a quick breakfast with Sancho and then we spent the afternoon getting Die Alte Schmiede cleaned up and ready for the show. The house is split up into basically three living areas all with separate entrances. Sancho lives up top, then there is the musician wing with separate kitchen and bathroom, and then the performance space; Alte Schmiede. It's all Sancho's home, but it really feels more like a little venue. There is a stage, nice sound system, lights, a little bar, seats about 30.



We got everything cleaned up, sound checked and then Sancho made paella for dinner. People started arriving around 715 and we weren't quite sure what the turn out was going to be with it being Easter. We were both a little surprised how quickly the room filled. There were only a few seats left when I started around 735. It felt great. Sounded great. It was a really great evening. There was a request for Sign Your Name so I had to tell the "Parchim Effect" story. A great night. Told everyone to come back in October for the tSR show.

Another great night in Walksfelde. Thanks to all who came out to support and especially Sancho for opening up his home to me for the last fee days. It will b sad to leave.
