Today was pouring rain as we loaded the van for the trip from Perry to Spencer. It has been raining all night and the fields around Nadine's and then on the trip north have huge lakes of water. When we got to the highway to head into town, a field was dumping its overflow of water all over the highway bringing with it a bed of corn stocks that covered the road. It rained about three-fourths of the way.
When we do this tour I get a tiny inkling of a life I would never know otherwise--the life of an artist touring. It takes a real dedication to do what you believe in when you tour. We do it for just a few days and it seems difficult. Finding food, beds not your own, places to relax. I have a new appreciation for what it takes to see the artists on stage at Hancher, what the artist goes through, that is.
