It is good to finally be back to the Yukon Territory. It is the only place in the world that the people understand Alaskans. Other than our different stance on firearms we are the same in my book. Stupid borders. Sometimes I think that the Yukon and Alaska should break off from our federal governments and form our own country. The name of that new country is still up for debate. I am accepting ideas currently for the new name. Yukona? Alaskon? I am open to suggestions.
Friday after my long 10 hour drive of vast expanses of wilderness, one wolf sighting, several moose, and a coyote I made it to the mountain wonderland of Haines junction. I got to perform an awesome house concert for the home roots concert series. What an awesome time. Packed room of people intently listening. Awesome sauce. There is a recording of the show that I will be posting sections of it once I paw through the tracks. Good times.
Saturday I did another home roots concert in the wilderness city, Whitehorse. It was cool to have an understanding adult crowd that wanted to hear a selection of songs I call, "songs that have lost me work". It went swimmingly.
Today I gave a private clinic for some ukulele students here in the horse. It is such a pleasure to see the light bulb turn on above someone's head once they finally grasp a new concept. Priceless.
Will there be a special unannounced performance tonight? Who knows? Regardless I make the 12 hour trip back to Squarebanks in the morning. Just another day in the frontier.
