Well, well. Who would have thought the band and crew would have spent so much time in rehearsal yesterday, laughing out of control at the antics of the singer working out yet another running order. I won't go into detail, but let’s say it resulted in a surprise or two for the audiences that we will soon be visiting around the U.S.A., Toronto and Vancouver.
On our third day together everyone in the band was in good shape,
and let’s face it, the playing can only get better over the coming weeks!
It’s hard to believe, but this is the Pretenders’ longest break
from touring since they began in 1978. I have the usual start up aches and
pains from putting in long hours, but generally the old bones are holding up. I
am after all into my 50th year of playing in front of audiences!
I am so looking forward to this tour. Keep a look out for a few of
our own shows being dropped into the many days off on the tour with Stevie.
More news soon.
M.D.C.
