April 3, 2022 - Gulfport, MS

We woke up in Gulfport, Mississippi, and stepped out to the Gulf of Mexico to feel the sand and the ocean at our feet. We found our Sunday farmers market filled with people of all ages who were appreciative of our songs. People have been picking up our records and posters over these past couple of days. We went to Meridian and visited the birthplace and the gravesite of the great Jimmie Rodgers. We stopped for the night in Birmingham.

21 days, 19 shows, 26 states, and 8,800 miles later, the Teething Veils Canopy of Crimson tour is over, and we’re back home in Washington, DC, among our familiar homes, humans, and animals. We saw many old friends from past eras, and met people who were strangers and who felt familiar and became friends. We visited the crossroads where Robert Johnson made his deal with the devil circa 1930. We saw the birthplaces of Jimmie Rodgers, Elvis Presley, Emmylou Harris, and Buddy Holly. We saw the gravesites of Jimmie and Buddy. We saw the childhood home of Wanda Jackson. We saw the place where Lee Harvey Oswald extinguished the life of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. We played songs as old as 1999 and as recent as 2021. We told stories of living and dying, harm and healing. We played in a cave hundreds of feet beneath the Earth’s surface, on a ranch in the desert, in record shops, in a bookstore, in bars, at farmers markets, and at a party place for kids. We dressed wounds and applied heat to aching...

We left Hot Springs, Arkansas in the late morning drove along curvy roads through gorgeous hills through western Arkansas and into Oklahoma, making it to Tulsa with time to settle in at Josey Records, a wonderful shop with really nice and welcoming people. David Hernandez's set was excellent. After the show, we found dinner and a large Woody Guthrie mural.  At Josey Records, Tulsa, before the show At the large Woody Guthrie mural in downtown Tulsa Setlist: Baltimore Broommaker To Have and to Hold The Castaway Between a Niche and a Ditch Auburn Aumbry A House After a Hurricane Sewn Hands The Poor Clare Monastery Pinhole Camera The Human You Were The Microphone Died Paper Lanterns Road music: Dusty Springfield "Stay Awhile / I Only Want to be With You," Norma Tanega "Walkin' My Cat Named Dog," Bridget St. John "Ask Me no Questions," Phil Ochs "Gunfight at Carnegie Hall" and "In Concert," Warren Zevon "Excitable Boy," Cul...

On the way out of Tulsa this morning, we visited the Outsiders house. We stopped off in Oklahoma City to see the home where Wanda Jackson lived as a teenager with her family when they came back to Oklahoma from Los Angeles. While living in that house, she began to sing on the radio and perform live for Oklahoma City audiences. It was special to be at the site where her incredible landscape-changing musical journey began. We drove through the dusty southern Oklahoma terrain into Texas, and landed at Dealey Plaza. The show was terrific, playing for a lesbian happy hour event, seeing an old friend from high school, and Little Beards performing a fantastic set.
