So it turns out that in all my previous visits to Portland, I had somehow managed to miss the most beautiful section of the city.  I’ve wandered the cool hilly streets of the harbour town for hours in the past and assumed I had the place covered.  So I was surprised and delighted yesterday to find myself strolling in the old port, roaming in and out of the shops in the preserved brick buildings.

We played the Merrill Auditorium which may be the most beautiful theatre I’ve ever seen.  After the show we went to an Irish Pub near the waterfront and had a grand night.

Tonight’s show is the last night of a short five day run.  I would not be surprised if the future held more tours like this as it is tough to leave home for three or four weeks at a time.

All hands are looking forward to the release of the new GBS DVD, Courage & Patience & Grit.  It hits the stores in November and features two full sets of music on DVD, an audio only CD, and four music videos.  Hope y’all like it.

An overnight drive to Montreal and we should be on the Rock by lunch time.

Thanks to everyone for coming out this week.

Cheers

Alan
