Anarchy in the UK!

Quick update.
Went to Liverpool. Went to “The Beatles Story” museum. Very cool.
Went on a tour of John Lennon’s and Paul McCartneys childhood homes. VERY cool. Quite momentous and moving for me.
Was treated like a total celebrity when I sat in with a Stevie Ray Vaughan tribute band. The fact that I am from Austin seems to carry it’s own inherent set of credentials. A very nice guy named Tony brought me a choice of 3 different guitars, and a very nice amp to use. I sat in on several songs and it went great. The band is “Texas Hurricane”. They were excellent and more than that were all the nicest of people you could ever hope to meet.
Had somewhere around 30 people over to Jess’s parents house for her birthday. We barbecued outside all day and partied into the wee hours. I gave a small acoustic performance in a back room of the house. Invented the “Captain Archer” dance. This is my second dance invention, the first being “Do the Pope Hat”.
Barbecued again today for the 4th of July. There were 3 of us Yanks here so we used it as a good excuse to use up the ton of food left over from the day before. Casey (my cousin) and I did the barbecuing since it was a holiday for us, and we felt we should “host”. We decided the Brits should also celebrate today as “yay! We got rid of the Yanks!” day.
Perhaps I will elaborate on some or all of the above when time permits. Cheerio, pip pip, and all that guv’nor.

    You called me “guv’nor”! I’ve never been called that before. Yay!
    Glad you’re having a time. Yes I am.

    Hi Heath, Emma & Casey
    Great pleasure to meet you both at the Texas Hurricane gig – thanks for making the Parker sound so good! Will mail pictures from the gig very soon.
    Hope your journey back to the States was not too knackering – get in touch if/when you are next over….
    Very best wishes
    Tone

    Eeek! Glad you had fun at the museum. It was really great to (finally!) meet you, although I have to say I prefer the Pope Hat dance to the Captain Archer. Sorry. 😉
