Face BookMEDICINE in the modern sense is perceived to be a treatment for ailment, but in the ancient sense particularly in the minds of Native Americans, medicine is all that is good in nature connecting the spirit world with the physical. The Medicine of music can be a direct connection with all it is to be human and also our best prescription for the disconnecting-ailments of our modern culture"

I'm coming back to Europe in April of 2011... Some dates still available between April 18th and May 1st. Touring in Belgium, Holland and Germany.
If anyone has any leads or input, drop a line!
Best,
Joe
Very cool site! I'm actually coming to Scotland soon, Glasgow and Lathones so come out of you can! Details are at www.johnjorgenson.com/calendar
I posted something to try and fill some dates in Germany on the hosts forum, not exactly sure how to connect up with German hosts specifically, maybe you have some suggestions.
Many thanks,
John Jorgenson
Thanks for the welcome. I don't know how active I'll be. Discovered the Euro group on the way to the new Australian group, into which I'll probably put more energy.
It's an exciting concept and I'm delighted to discover it. In the future I may become a host or an artist or both. Until then I'll be checking the group schedule wherever I happen to be.
Cheers
David
