If you follow Vernon Reid on Instagram You will be aware that life as a traveling musician has its own rhythm, a series of strange venues, strange hotels and occasional disasters, like in 2023 when the TSA canceled the Living Color guitarist’s tour Pedal boarda post so disturbing that it should have been behind a graphic content warning.

But it also has its own magic. Just as traveling enriches the mind, it can also move the soul, especially when you have the chance to meet a fan at the airport who happens to be an electric guitar pioneer himself, Mr. Jack White, Raconteur, former frontman of Die White Stripes and music publishing/equipment entrepreneur extraordinaire.
