Ember Swift, Canadian musician and touring performer, kept readers up-to-date on life on the road as a musician and band member in North America between July and September, 2007. This series is truly a musician's perspective on traveling. It chronicles the rhythm of a touring musician -- what it's like both on and off the road -- and offers a glimpse into the daily life of a modern day minstrel.
