JULY 5TH
Well, here we are in Verviers. I was
here last year with John Lawton and I remember it being a cool club
but right now I have to have more tea so I can wake up!
"Spirit of '66" is a great club and the stage is a perfect
size for us. Sound check was short and tonight's meal was Chinese
so we are enjoying a variety of gourmet delights on this short trip!
The problem with my Leslie is not one that can be fixed easily so
I am going to have to live with it, probably until I get back to
England.
It was great to se Uwe (Reuters) and he gave me the latest book
(Volume 5) in his series on Uriah Heep. I didn't have a chance to
get into it there and then but we did have a chance to chat and
I gave him one of the bootlegs that had been given to me as a "gift"
the night before. I could have easily called this the "BOOTLEG
CHRONICLES" as I have seen more bootleg CDs in these few days
than ever before. I can remember when bootlegs were not something
that anyone would be proud of but now I am asked to sign them! Things
certainly have changed!
We had a good crowd tonight and apart from my cold, it went well.
I think I am going to have to just live with this cold until I get
home and can rest for a while. Having to go to America straight
from Newcastle and then turning around and coming straight back
etc… I really haven't had a moment to recover but we have a
break coming up so if I can get through tomorrow… all will
be well. You can ask any singer, it's disappointing to be at less
than your best but I would rather go for it than quit so that's
what I am going to do…… along with a few prayers!!!
Next day...
