WE DID IT!!!!!!!!! ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL TOUR AND I THINK, WE DID OK OUT THERE.ITS ALWAYS WEIRD TO SAY GOODBYE TO THE GUYS YOUVE BEEN LIVING WITH , EVERY MINUTE OF MOST EVERY DAY,AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME NORMALITY BACK AT HOME.ALWAYS SAD TO SAY GOODBYE TO THE GUYS IN THE CREW FOR ANOTHER YEAR,HOPING THEY CAN MAKE THE NEXT TOUR WITH US ,AND SOME OTHER UNIT HASNT STOLEN THEM AWAY WITH STORIES OF GREATER RICHES AND BETTER WORKING CONDITIONS ETC .OUR CREW ,OF LAURIE AND PAUL ,WORK THERE ASSES OFF FOR US TO GET US ON STAGE EVERY NIGHT WITHOUT ALL THE TECHNICAL HITCHES,AND WORK TIRELESSLY FOR A SMOOTH SHOW .OUR DRIVER DAVE ,WHO SPENDS ALL HIS DAYS LOOKING AFTER US AND ALL OUR STRANGE WAYS ,ALWAYS WITH A STEADY HAND AND A STRONG OUTLOOK ,TO GET US TO THE STAGE ,AND OUR ROOMS SAFELY..THATS WITHOUT ALL THE EXTRAS THEY ALL DO FOR US. MY HATS OFF TO ALL OF THEM ...A GREAT TEAM ALL ROUND ..THE OFFICE BACK IN L., WHERE ALL THE WORK STARTS AND BELIEVE ME , NEVER ENDS EVEN WHEN WERE NOT WORKING TOGETHER ...A HUGE THANK YOU TO MANAGEMENT, BOOKING STAFF ,AND THE ARTIST RELATIONS, DAVE MAIDA ...MIKE GLADSTONE FOR THE DRIVING OF THE TRUCKS TO START AND FINISH THE TOURS,PLUS ALL THE WORK BEHIND THE SCENES...MY BAND MATES GLENN ROBIN AND DAVEY,WHO WE HAVE HAD A GOOD FEW YEARS NOW TO REALLY GELL AND BLEND AS A UNIT..ALWAYS FUN THAT...BUT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO THANK THE MANY FANS OLD AND NEW , THAT HAVE COME SEE US IN ALL WEATHERS, AND FAITHFULLY BACKED US ALL ALONG THE WAY ..I THINK ROBIN IS A UNIQUE AND SPECIAL ARTIST,ALWAYS DELIVERING THE VERY BEST ON STAGE ,ALWAYS GIVING HIS LEGIONS OF FANS A GOOD TIME WITH A CERTAIN SOMETHING OTHER ARTISTS COULD ONLY WISH FOR.....AND OF COURSE I MUST NEVER FORGET THE WIVES AND FAMILYS OF THE MUSICIANS WHO ALWAYS ,HAVE TO GO WITHOUT THERE MEN AROUND FOR MONTHS ON END, SO WE CAN DO WHAT WE DO BEST ..BELIVE ME IT IS THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD...

WE HAVE CURTAILED ALL THE3 SOUNDCHECKS DUE TO SCHEDULING NOW.IT WAS TAKING TOO LONG BEFOIRE THE GIG STARTS , AND WE NEED TO BE AS FRESH AS WE CAN BE . HAVING SAID THAT WHEN U DONT SOUNDCHECK,N THINGS GO WRONG .
