Howdy Folks,
Check out this link Matt sent me from the Examiner.com
My friend Gigi Love came into town for a couple of days to jam and hang out. Gigi is one of the Bums on the Plush on the run to the Kate wolf festival in June. That brings up another subject. I have had a few e-mails about using the name Bums on the Plush. The name comes from a poem dad would recite from time to time, I will post it on the side of the blog page. II gave this name a great deal of thought and kept coming back to the time dad and I were traveling up to the North West.
several years back. We stayed over night at the Ashland Springs Hotel in of course Ashland OR. The hotel is a nice piece of work. It was built in 1925 and has been beautifully restored and much more upscale than most places we would stay. After dinner we sat in the lobby next to the fireplace, cocktail in hand, soaking it all in. Dad went on and on about how nice the hotel was and how he was going to go to High Tea the next day at which point I turned to him and asked "so how does it feel to be a bum on the plush" he smiled and laughed.
Please understand I mean no disrespect. In fact I feel the name is quite the opposite. Please do feel free to post your thoughts I am sincerely interested in the opinion of other folks.

About Me
- Duncan
- I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah.It's odd, Utah lives in Ca. and I live in Utah, maybe I should change my name to California. Vital stats Wife of 25 short years Bobette. One Son - Brendan Scott Phillips. He was named after my two half brothers.I also have two amazing half sisters Morrigan Phillips and Kay Powell, all these halves do add up to a whole. Favorite color, navyblueredishgreenvelvet Occupation - undecided Bobette always asks me, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" Any suggestions? seriously though I was born in Utah but we have always moved around a lot, I think at last count I have lived in at least 15 different houses or apartments from California to Texas, it must be genetic. Currently I work for a landscape company it works out well because it allows me the time off in the winter to travel with my dad and catch up on our lives.Road Manager he calls me, I don't think anybody can manage my dad. We're more like two old friends on the lamb.

Hey Mike, I wouldn't even think of going back East and not going to Lena's.
New YORK was the last road trip dad and I took together.
That was a great show. I wanted to video it, so my kids could see it, but Bruce said 'NO!"
See you when you come. We can share some stories.
Mike
Sounds great. Really nice hearing about what your up to. Look forward to seeing you one day in Canada.
