Our swing through the Midwest has been a lot of funthank you to everyone who came out to shows for the first time and to those of you who traveled some long distances to showswe know there were quite a few! On this tour leg in the U.S. we are visiting a lot of smaller cities that we haven't visited before. We started this swing in Madison, capital of Wisconsin, which, as everyone knows, is the cheese state. Contrary to what you may think by watching sports events on TV, not everyone walks around with those crazy cheese hats on. That was kind of a relief, but we were a little disappointed no one wore one to the show! (There's always next time.)
On our day off in Moline, Illinois, we were able to get in games of both hockey and golf so big thanks to everyone there who helped make that happen. For those of you who saw the Toledo show, you'll remember Fred ` Fred not only sat in the front row and sang a little part of Under My Skin, but he was SO good that he got to practically solo on his own. Fred's got a fun storyhe won a Sing Like Bublé contest with a radio station and station listeners voted him the winner. He won the seats and an opportunity to attend the meet and greet. He first sang for us there, and then, of course, the audience had a blast hearing him as well!
Dayton, Ohio, was gorgeous ` we played at the Fraze Pavilion which is one of the prettiest outdoor venues around. It has a great atmosphere including beautiful fountain on the concourse, and we sold it out so there were hundreds of people who spilled out onto the streets and set up camps with lawn chairs and picnics under the summer sky and a shimmering crescent moon. Today we are in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and so far we haven't OD'd on chocolate, but the mountains of Hershey's Kisses are hard to resist...
See you in the South!
