Hope he doesn't mind me copying and pasting here:

Sounds like everyone is having a blast!

Well, we have been out on the road doing shows with the Henley camp for a week now and the vibe has been great. In my opinion, the shows have progressively gotten better at each city now that the band has had a chance to gel as a unit. Stevie continues to be in great spirits and seems to be really having a great time. She loves this current band configuration and has spoken to me about how much fun she is having.

This is my first time on the road with Stevie as a solo act and I am having a ball. I have the luxury of already knowing pretty much everyone from doing the Fleetwood Mac tour, but being able to enjoy a fresh new show and a freshly recharged Stevie Nicks! She is truly a very special woman!!! I also really enjoy working under the direction of Waddy Wachtel. My wife's cousin, Ivan Neville, worked with Waddy with Keith Richards and the Expensive Winos, so it somehow feels like a family affair. Waddy already knew my wife, and she and Stevie are like girlfriends when they get together. It definitely feels like family being back with Stevie's camp.

For those of you who have not yet had a chance to catch a show from this current tour, I hope you get a chance. Stevie is in top form, and the band is rockin'!
