The long drive from Minneapolis to Ferndale emphasizes the importance of mental conditioning as well as physical. You need to have a means of entertaining yourself when the ride is longer than an hour or two. This is generally the life of the traveling musician…unfortunately most don't get a chance to do their traveling in a comfortable bus with people they like, the way we do.
The percussion of dominoes fills the living room area of the bus and mingles with the smell of Sylvan's home-away-from-home style meals. I don't know how he does it. He cooks as well in a microwave oven as most of us could on a full featured stove…
Of course, Tedo is keeping the mood right with a great combination of humor and music. You may not hear them when the band hits the stage, but these two Rastamen make life on the road a whole lot easier.
