Hey VanceFans,

I’m home. I saw kangaroos, big lizards, people put beets on a burger, and the song of the magpie is still in my head. Probably the prettiest song of any bird as far as I am concerned.

The tour was wonderful, the festivals on either side (Mullum and Woodford) were triumphant, and when I left it was 88 degrees and humid in Brisbane. It’s -2 after 18 inches of snow. Welcome home indeed…

I’ll soon be tapping patrons for the new album. Might potentially have Richard Thompson’s producer involved. Stay tuned.

Coaching, private house concerts, pet sitting, lawn edging upon request. OK, only two of those things.

peace & xo vg
