Spotted...Another Homewreckin' Man.

I don't know what it is but when a man rips off his shirt, the women come running. We were at the Hard Times Cafe in Fredericksburg, Virginia and that's how it happened. Somewhere in the middle of the show testosterone took over. Now I am not complaining I am a sucker for a man with no shirt and a farmer's tan. I had a blast with this crowd...They were fun and unpredictable. I can't wait to come back and see what happens next time...... see you all soon. Tobi

Williamsburg, Virginia


I thought this was one of the neatest things we saw. This is the first theatre in history. It was built in 1716 and for three decades actors and actresses performed here. It was eventually named the Playbooth Theatre. Now, loving the arts and knowing our agent, I think the stage is big enough for us to do a show...acoustic of course, but it sure would be an honor. At the end of our long day on our walk back to the car we ran across one of the oldest oak trees in the country...easily over 400 years old....Definite photo op.


Tired and glad to be back at the house, we still couldn't sleep. Susan's friend Leigh Ann (I hope I spelled it right. If not...sorry) let us crash at her house.....and what a house! Swimming pool, pool table, nintendo, wine cellar, work-out room, and the ultimate media room, with enough chairs for everyone to lay back and watch a movie on a screen the size of the wall. What a day....What a night....What a blast...Thanks Susan and Leigh Ann....Tobi

Williamsburg, Virginia

Once again we were lucky enough to have a day off so our friend Susan drove all of us to Williamsburg, Virginia and we got to check out the town. While walking around one of the first American settlements we got to see a lot of history and the locals still living the way it used to be. We just had to have a picture so while sitting outside on a bench we just joined a couple of ladies and this was the result.

Okay.....You probably think this is a situation I have been in before.......No Comment. I have to say I would not have wanted to break the law back then. This is totally uncomfortable, but it was fun for a minute. So Susan, Sarah, Mandy and I pretended like we broke the law (because you know how unlikely that would be) and got into the stockade for the whole town to see.

Then fortunately Lisa went to the Governor's Mansion and he was polite enough to give us a pardon. All in all it was a great time......Tobi

Food Glorious.....Food.

When you travel all over the world playing everywhere, you also get to eat everywhere!!! So we stopped off in Virginia and got the chance to sit down and enjoy a nice meal. Judging by the pictures it looks like we skipped the main course but let me assure you we didn't. I just thought it was funny with all the desserts on the table and now that we have a new trainer this will probably be the last picture of its kind....So I guess we can call it a collector's item.....Ha Ha we'll see how well that works.


I know all the girls want to thank Susan for her hospitality. Not only did she drive us around and show us the town but she also put us up for a night and let us park our new bus at her house . Susan, you rock. You know we love you and thanks for everything......I hope you get to come out on the road with us again soon......please don't wait too long. Thanks again for everything. Tobi

Echo Lake Park, New Jersey


When we first arrived we had a little down time so I caught Sarah under a tree just playing the fiddle and I thought this would be a cool picture to share......By the way, Sarah has her new fiddle album available to our fans so make sure you pick it up....I did and it is fantastic. While she was hanging out under a tree, I thought I would walk around and I walked to the top of the hill and found a memorial for those we lost on 9-11. I thought I would share this picture and let you know that in the back there are two steel girders from the towers and also names of those lost. I think it helps to remember what can happen and to never forget what did happen. Our thoughts and prayers are still with those families.
After the down time was over we had our sound check and then it was show time. I will say it again.....I love to play shows where families get to hang out and enjoy the night and live music together. So I thought it was appropriate to put all the kids in a picture and say thanks to all the families and folks who enjoyed a beautiful New Jersey night with us. I hope we get to do it again next year. Thanks again. Tobi
