“Hi Everyone…
Well, I survived another birthday and have been working flat-out
on “Blood on The Highway” ever since.
The tracks are 75% done now and we are working on some details
now, until we take a break from October 5th to the 30th. During
that time I’ll be travelling up to Apeldoorn. We are going to
drive and take a little vacation too and on the way back we’ll
pass through the French wine country and maybe we’ll even stop
there for a while…!!!
Last week I had a great re-union with John Lawton who came up to
Alicante to record a vocal track for the project. It was good to
spend some time with him and Iris and he did a fantastic job on
“his” song!! I think you’ll like it! I sent you a picture which
was taken just after lunch… There’s a lot of life in the “old
dogs”!!
Today, as I write this, we are setting up in the conservatory of
Alicante to record some of the players from the Alicante Symphony.
We will use 24 string players on two songs and later we’ll record
the oboe in the studio.. (I’m also enclosing a picture of me with
the string section and Joán Iborra, the director and conductor of
the symphony.
It’s a busy and fantastic time and I am really excited about the
project all together. It will be released in February 2007
just in time for the European and Scandinavian tours!
Nine of the original 10 October shows have been re-booked for
March 2007, starting in Budapest on the 15th. My new German agent
(details as soon as the contract is signed!) will book the rest of
the European shows and Arne Aronsen is busy now booking the
Scandinavian dates which start on June 15th. There is also
the possibility of 5 shows in Russia in February so there’s a lot
going on…
We’re adding Arne’s contact details to the web site in case you
are interested or have any questions:

The rest of 2006 will be busy and now it looks as though the first
half of 2007 will be a great time too. With any luck we’ll finish
the touring in time to plan for the next birthday!! I LOVE it!
God bless,
Ken
