There’s nothing like a road trip!  Notable Exceptions  and  Horse Crazy Cowgirl Band  have embarked on a 4-month winter tour of America’s great Southwest.
 
The drive has already been exciting, with howling wind storms and even a dusting of snow overnight in Gallup, NM. 
 
We were thrilled to gather again in Albuquerque with friends at the Western Music Association’s annual Convention and Awards.  The trio and the duo both came away with some fine recognition; Horse Crazy Cowgirl Band was named the WMA Group of the Year, and Notable Exceptions earned the title of WMA Harmony Duo of the Year.  There was plenty of music-making, onstage and in late-night jams, and it was all a great thrill.
 
The glamour of life on the road wouldn’t be complete without a few detours and delays for mechanical repairs.  Wyatt the Wonder Dog’s week in Dallas led to some pretty miserable scratching and itching, but she seems to be on the road to recovery.  The duo is on the move again, heading toward southern New Mexico.
 
There is plenty more ahead of us, and this tour will continue to give all of us tremendous fun.  Stick around.  This is gonna be grand!
