“To everyone in Thief River Falls, please accept my apology for not being there this evening. We always leave in plenty of time, have good reliable transportation generally, but out bus broke down in IL through the night.
In waiting for tow, diagnosis, parts brought in and finish the drive – we can’t get to you tonight. The travel is the work, and performing on stage is the fun. It’s truly beyond human control and this is a rare occurance. I apprecite your understanding. My friends in slamabama are stepping in to make sure you have some fun this evening.”
