Up at 6am to appear live on Russian National
TV at 8:30. I didn't feel very "live" actually but
it went well and it never hurts to do these things!
Back to The Kremlin then and this time with the band for a full
run through of all the songs. We made a few arrangement changes
and eventually settled on a set list that merged our normal show
with this incredible orchestra. Little did we know what was to come!!
Just hearing these amazing musicians playing songs like "Through
The Eyes of A Child" and "Rain" was spine-chilling
for me but when they played the arrangement that had been written
for "The Last Dance", well, to be honest, I almost cried…
it was very, very moving.
After a quick lunch we went back to the hotels for some rest before
leaving for dinner. Tonight we appeared live on Dmitry Dibrov's
TV show which is watched by over 10 million people nationwide
and, in spite of the fact that we were all pretty tired it went
well and we all enjoyed it!!
Dmitry is a good guy and a big fan of my songs and he always asks
for songs from "Proud Words" so we end up teasing each
other a lot but his show is one of the most popular in all of Russia
so I am happy we were able to do it.
We all went to a really cool place for drinks afterwards (it was
set up like an old-fashined kitchen from the Soviet times) but none
of us lasted too long and it was soon off to the hotels and…
BED!!
Tomorrow is a day off and we are all looking forward to that!!
Next
day...
