They are travelling overseas quite a bit this year. I've been watching their schedule hoping they will come to the Denver area someday (or just happen to be where we are vacationing).

Thanks, for the info, Larry
Yeah, I sorta guessed that video was quite old when I saw a more recent one of him with greying hair and some visible wrinkles
. It's great to know he's still touring, though. Just shows how much he and Patty love their music.
Regarding him being a technician....those *in-depth* articles on his website are pretty heavy stuff!
You guys are so lucky, being surrounded by all sorts of amazing musicians. Never take it for granted!
