DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME;

"Found my Phone!!!!"

As I was putting my clothes in the washing machine, my mobile phone fell out of
the pile which made me so happy! As you may (or may not) recall, after Dave
Jenkins dropped me off from our rebel-rousing night at Spaceland, I couldn't
find my phone. But now I have it and the smile has returned to my face. Lots
of recording all this and next week, then rehearsals for the House Of Blues
show the week after that. Busy. But not too busy to enjoy a pint at Barney's
during happy hour (only $2!!!! It's like dying and going to heaven.)

Now, imagine how pleasantly surprised I was to receive in the post today a copy
of "Scottish" Keith Stodart's NEW BOOK, "ALL ABOARD THE LOVE TRAIN!!!" Well,
it's 44 pages on 8x11 paper so if it were in small print on smaller pages it
might work out to about 130 pages or so. Ah, why the feck do I know...I can
say it's GREAT. it's his assessment of a bunch of shows but also the
adventures that came with them and some really wonderful color pictures! I
think this is a must for LOVE fans and, NO, I am not getting a cut of the dosh!
But since Keith is relaxing on some wonderful beach in Greece (I am sooooo
jealous!!!!!!), I can't really ask him details about it. But it looks nice and
the pictures are very clear. There's even a cool foto of Scottish Su, who is
on holiday in Barcelona as I write this. Everyone is on holiday except me!

Well this weekend we should have all the musicians flushed out for these 2
upcoming shows. We hit a slight bump in that, a couple of players actually had
to back out due to prior commitments. And two of the players are in other
states at the moment (a violinist and a trumpeter) so it may not be monday
before I can schedule a rehearsal with them. Gunnar (in Sweden) e-mailed Chapple
the sheet music and I made all the musicians copies of the R.F.H. show so we
are very close to having something going here. Knock on wood.
