The 6 week tour got cut short...

The big money gig half way thru our tour got postponed due to renovations still taking place.

But at least I got to Edmonton, Kenora (canada), Utah, North Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado and I think somewhere else??..Minnesota, that one. St.Cloud and Duluth (Hell Burgers) drove straight from Duluth to Chicago. Not a bad run.

My brain is all a mess right now and I can offically say that AT&T is horrible! HORRIBLE! anything west of Des Moines for me, was like no service.
Going with Verizon I think, but I hear they're not all that much better??
Piccies will be posted to my FB page and the bands website I believe. www.jarmblues.com

Im just glad to be back home and back on TB with all you crazy mooks. Now I can finish my pedals before the next tour starts.

Not trying to sell cell phones here, but I live west of Des Moines and have Verizon. It does great over here and through out most of the areas you traveled. I've only had problems in the mountains in Arkansas. But, I don't think really any phone service stood a chance there.

My band all had verizon and I was so pissed. Plus I do like the new htc driods. Might as well change before I go back on the road next month.

small world... caught you and james armstrong at the blues on whyte in edmonton.. checked you guys out a few nights. Great Blues! I am not sure if you stuck around for the sat afternoon jam but I am the bass player that was in the host band and we played the sunday night gig after you guys hit the road.

So how many shows did you play and how many did you miss out on? I'm confused...

verizon works great for me everywhere in north america. its crucial as a musician in 2010 to have good cell phone service 24 hours a day.
