Roseau, MN then Europe

A 'final' concert at Roseau, MN, (that's Rose-oh, btw) before we hop over to Europe (Wunsiedel, Germany) for a quick a cappella nacht with Peter Martin Jacob and Magenta...

We had a splendid Guy Fawkes night in Roseau (Ian, in the audience, from Maidenhead told us we had not mentioned this anniversary! - he was right...); great evening again, there will be more next week... after we have had a quick German sojourn...

We still have Chris with us; no news yet of latest Cantabile new generation...

Aeroports, planes... marvellous...

Thief River Falls, MN

Another town, another espresso house...
You might think it dull that we attach such weight to the availability of espresso; it must stem from our first US tours in the 1990s, when it was almost impossible to find a place where espresso occurred at all, apart from when we approached Seattle (where I for one, rather OD'd on the stuff...) However, Wired Bean, just across from our hotel, the mellifluously-named, C'mon Inn (geddit?) is tremendous.... and even has sandwiches in which the meat part of the sandwich is more than half-a-milimetre thick and tastes of something.... such glory...

...and the concert? After nine hours in the car yesterday, it was excellent... the good people of TRF bought CDs and had a good time in a packed Sunday afternoon theatre. Huge crowd, huge fun...
Splendid technical skill too in the theatre...

One more before we pop home for a quickie in Germany, in Roseau, MN... just up the road... time for a lie-in...
