An Autobiography of Life on the Road By a 60's / 70's Touring Musician
I’ve no doubt that every touring musician from every era has incredible stories to tell and they will of course all be vastly different. Sadly, most will go unwritten and lost forever.
This is my story which includes the following highlights:
The price of being the rookie
The German US / UK bases
23 gigs in one week
Travelling back in time
The incredible NATO base in Naples
The plane that caught fire mid flight
The villa from hell
3 in a bed
Deported from Spain
The Piper Club Rome
24 hours stranded in the Alps with no heater
Nightmare in Paris
Lulu's party
Signed to RCA
Gigs with Elton John, Bowie and others
The Paradiso club Amsterdam
A conversation with André Previn
Life gets easy
An incredible coincidence
Me the Snake and the snow
A gig with Buddy Rich
A life changing decision
Bring on the strippers
Mouflon spotting in Cyprus
The re-unions
Just a bit of fun, highlighting what I went through in that era!
