It's over.  Le tour est fini.  The New Reformation Band's 3rd Annual National Farewell Tour.  The last chord of Struttin With Some Barbeque on the stage of the historic Huber Opera House in Hicksville, Ohio, marked the end of a miraculous 30 day excursion into the heartland of America.  Miraculous, you ask?  Yessir, miraculous, indeed.

NRB founder/leader/piano guy, Dave Oppermann, left for his next tour of duty on a Holland America Line cruise ship just days after the band's national tour (see story above) ended.  He is sailing from Vancouver BC every Wednesday through the summer season to Alaska, visiting Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, and Glacier Bay during the 7 day cruise.

Dave reports that prices for his spectacular journey are lower than they have been in years due to the soft economy, and he hopes many NRB fans will take advantage of the pricing and join him on the Volendam before the season is over.

Booking can be made directly with Holland America (www.hollandamerica.com) or through your local travel agency.  If you do book one of his cruises, be sure to notify him ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
