When you’re luggage goes missing at an airport on tour, it’s an anxious time with that little voice in your head asking “Will I ever see my equipment again?”. Somehow, for all the touring we’ve done, we still haven’t permanently lost a bag yet. And, yet again, the latest lost bag (mentioned yesterday) showed up at Frankfurt airport last night after mysteriously missing the flight from Beijing the day before. Don’t know how they manage to do it, but airlines need to stop terrifying their passengers with that stuff. Thankful for small mercies, today I’ve got clothes and equipment again to do the tour through Germany & beyond. Ahhhh the relief.

Gear shows up.

Here’s a shot from our German tour booker’s balcony, looking across the Rhine this morning. Off to Cologne today in readiness for the first tour date on Friday.

Fires out.
