Thursday - April 10th 2003
After a fairly lazy day and just two interviews
we went to the venue and prepared for the show. I was working with
the Rostovski Academic Symphony Orchestra here and in Krasnodar
and Volgograd, under the direction of conductor Alexander
Millekovsky and we rehearsed the four songs we were planning
to play together.
As it happens, on the night, the plan to move the orchestra part
a little later in the show didn't work at all because at that point
in the show (i.e after "The Wizard" and "July Morning")
the audience wasn't at all prepared to sit down and be quiet!! And
I don't blame them. (Tomorrow we'll start the show with the orchestra!!)
But it was a great show and the audience was really wild. Thanks
to relaxed security they were able to get up and rock and that made
a big difference! So two shows and two sell outs and we are already
building some momentum!! I have to say that a lot of prayers are
being answered here and I am thankful for that. Can't wait for tomorrow
now!!
Next
day...
