I left Yankton, SD at about 6:30am and after non-stop driving, arrived in Keokuk, IA a little after 1:30pm.
I can't believe that it is already the last concert of my Fall tour in the Midwest! It was an incredible experience...I got to meet so many interesting people, saw so much of the country that I hadn't ever gotten to see before, and got to play in halls large and small.
Tomorrow, I've got a 4-hour drive to Kansas City, and then fly back to New York for the first time in a month! It will be nice to not be living out of a suitcase for once. :) Also, Delta gave me a confirmed first-class upgrade so the ride home should be nice.
The odometer reads over 5000 miles driven in the past 3.5 weeks...I think I'm growing emotionally attached to my Avalon :P It has been a great car on this journey.
Thank you all for following me on this first Midwest tour...please keep checking back here, on my website (CharlieAlbright.com), on my Facebook Page (Facebook.com/charliealbrightpianist), on Twitter (twitter.com/charliealbright), and on my YouTube channel (youtube.com/pianomanca)! I'll definitely try to do this again daily for the longer, winter tour beginning the first week of February, 2013, and of course periodic updates here.
Thanks again for all of your support, you guys!!! :D
