"My plan was to travel from New Orleans to New York in three months with my guitar and by bicycle. I wanted to experience the music I would find along the route and have my walkman recorder ready whenever needed. The first plan was to do the whole trip on my bicycle. Because I had too much to carry and I never refuse a ride offered by a nice lady and be California bound. From then on I decided to take greyhounds too and take the bicycle along on the bus…"

Read the rest of the introduction to this cd, written by Rik himself. He travelled from New Orleans to New York between March 3rd and June 3rd 2002. This record is an adventurous musical impression of his journey through the States.
