Maplewood and Little-League Baseball, New Jersey - 29th April 2006

At the end of nearly two months working in California, Nosher heads back to the UK with a stop-off at old school-chum Phil's pad in the attractive New Jersey town of Maplewood. Before we head off to Lolly's beach house on Fire Island, we manage to pack in a trip to Kai's Karate class, a session of Little League Baseball (another American institution on the list of US icons to see or do), and a play in the form of a contemporary interpretation of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at The Papermill Theater.

next album: Phil and the Fair Harbor Fire Engine, Fire Island, New York State, US - 30th April 2006
previous album: San Diego Seven: The Desert and the Dunes, Arizona and California, US - 22nd April
