July 12, Reno, NV. Hello good people, The time is finally here. We are at the moment where we release the hounds:-) Today we came together in Reno, NV. Reno has always been nice to me. I first came here in 1984 with Gladys Knight and The Pips. Yes, I was an assistant Pip;-) I've probably played here at least 50 times. I've played Reno with Bruce at least 3 to 4 times. This is going to be great. I've never gone into a tour feeling more ready to play. Last night I had dinner with the crew. You never know how much you miss people until you come back together. We laughed and told stories about things that are going on in our lives. It only takes a minute for things to change. There are guys that are becoming fathers again (congrats to CG and BR) you two are doing the do:-) We have guys that are moving to new places. (stay safe and good luck PB) I don't think that I would ever have the nerve to move to another country. We have a guy whose home is a boat (you go ahead with your bad self CK), me being the great water man that I am;-) can totally see this move. I love your passion for the water. The reason that I am letting my friends in on the lives of our little group is this. I knew that each one of these guys had a special place in my life. But, last night at dinner I realized that these guys are real family to me. And I enjoy each person's life experience. I love these people. Okay! that's enough of the sappy stuff. This diary is for puke stories and other disgusting bits. So don't be scared. I am bringing the thunder this year. We are all going a journey that will hopefully leave each all of us on the ground laughing our hearts out. I need to stop getting up so early. The bed at the hotel feels like an army cot. This has to be the most uncomfortable mattress in the world. It feels like I am sleeping on the ground. Dag-nabitt! I should have just put the covers on the floor. Alright good people. Spiderman is on the way.. Get ready.... Take out those party shoes... dust off that good pair of pants... After the first note, we are not to blame for those of you that can't shake your groove thang:-) LET'S PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
