Well, the seven of us are off to Germany tomorrow!  I'm more anxious than excited at this point because I live in fear of forgetting something unrecoverable.  I think I've got it all covered however.  I'm looking forward to being on the plane and being able to relax into the reality of the trip.  We've all worked so hard to raise the money to cover the costs of this and the project kept growing!  What was originally to be performing at an international music festival (Festival Maritim in Vegesack, Bremen, Germany) grew into entertaining our wounded troops at the largest American military hospital outside of the US and two American airbases for airmen and their families.  PLUS three radio interview, PLUS Armed Forces Television covering our show at the miitary hospital.  PLUS the whole Operation Share the Shanties project of giving CDs with personal notes from everyone who could get involved to the military personnel we encounter.  

Simply amazing.  This group is the best, the absolute best company of friends I've ever associated with.

I will miss my dear wife, Richelle, of course.  She has four fuzzy kids to keep her company, but I will only have a plate of wienerschnitzel and sauerkraut to keep me warm at night.  Sigh.

So, we're keeping a blog of the trip:  please visit it and say hello?  http://bounding.wohlershome.net/blog/

Have fun everyone!

Oh, hey, did you see the press release for our trip to Germany?  I sent it out at the beginning of July so the August magazines could publish the information.  It might have been too early for the newspapers to not LOSE the info, but the the rep at PRWEB thought this was the way to go, so we did.  Check it out:  http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/07/prweb1060614.htm
