may day

Hello Everybody,
Been a while and i'm sorry i was remiss in not writing sooner....much has happened since i last checked in.....had an amazing tour of ireland, england, scotland, wales, and italy.....with Eileen Rose and the Holy Wreck......
i'd like to thank all of you that i met on the tour.....too many to name....but Steve Foster, Marty McCool, David Emmerson, My new Italian family, Alex and Rob, Tabita, and Ennrica, Fluvio, Lorenzo.....Hannah Kowszun.......but more on her later......had mixed emotions about coming back home.....this IS my home....but was really just an amazing time to be over there,,,,,the life of the troubador....different town's every night.....different main streets filled with mystery....stories....legends.....breathed a new life into me....and i'd like to thank Eileen Rose for making it possible.....got some pics on myspace from the tour and will get them on to the website soon too.....and got a couple throw away camera's that i need to get developed.....so more to come...
There were many people in Italy that had " 620 W. Surf" albums.....which i had never even seen before.....and i just cant' get over the hairdo i had......wow......i am hoping to make a return there in late august or september....am looking very forward to that....

i actually thought i had all week off.....only to check my www.myspace.com/michaelmcdermott and realized i have 3 shows....two in indianapolis and one in memphis.....so its back to work....have many song idea's....but havent' really had the time to get them finished....which is very frustrating for me.....

was supposed to do a tin angel show last week and play in jersey.....but when i got to the plane.....it had been delayed from 1pm to 3 pm......then 4:30 pm....which would have just barely allowed me to make the gig......we boarded the plane went out to the tarmack and then sat, and sat....then the pilot came on the intercom and said " we have an ignition problem....engine 2 is not firing, so we are going back to the gate to fix it....." then we sat at the gate.....and after another 45 minutes....he said " the plane has been designated out of operation...we need to find a new plane" so that sealed my fate.....i am so sorry to those of you who bought tickets....and i hope to have a rescheduling date soon......as well as those in new jersey.....

am doing 4 national anthems this summer at wrigley.....only 3 have been scheduled.....as of now.....

take care of each other....and may God bless us all

Hey!

What happened to your scheduled Minneapolis appearances in July 2008? They have all been cancelled and I can't seem to find out why.

I was SO looking forward to seeing you again. I have been a fan since 620 W Surf and saw you perform live with a rockin band in Cleveland in 93 or 94.

I hope all is OK. Peace out.

Heard you for the first time at the Sox game 8/6. You were fantastic. Where have I been to have missed your wonderful voice?
