I just got home from a six-week tour in Europe at gigs in Norway, Holland, Belgium, England, Wales, and the tour ended down in San Sebastian, Spain.

I flew in on a propeller plane, crazy winds, the thing was bouncing every which way and was not the most fun flight I've had, but landed safely.

I played a sold-out gig, everybody was just packed in. It was a historic jazz club.

Been around for a long, long time. I'm told that Dizzy Gillespie and a lot of other jazz legends had played there.

So it felt great to get to stand there where Dizzy Gillespie stood and get to play my songs for the people. It was just a great

crowd and it was a great way to end the tour. The promoter was wonderful to me, just a really good

guy. He told me a great story that I'm going to do everything I can to make it turn into an

episode of this show. Hopefully sometime in the next year you might hear me tell that story.

But I went back to the hotel room and I slept with the windows open.

There are a few things that I enjoy more than sleeping and smelling the ocean, just blowing in.

It's just one of those things that as a Midwesterner who's land landlocked, it's an exotic strange thing for me and I enjoy it.

But the next morning I woke up and I only had a few hours before I had to fly out.

It was raining pretty hard, but I'd never seen San Sebastian so I wanted to see what it looked like.

I walked down by the ocean and saw the waves

crashing against the rocks and was thinking about lay down your weary tune. The ocean wild like an

organ played. Sea, we woven strands. I walked back in and it's just beautiful, beautiful old town,

enjoyed walking in the rain and i came upon this

this public square it's a probably about the size of a football field and on all four sides there

were buildings that went up maybe five or six stories high and there were big balconies off of

each building each balcony had a number

just above it. So that got my curiosity going and I found out that that used to be the bullring

for the town of San Sebastian where the bullfights were held. And the balconies were attached to a house.
