So, today we had the first rehearsals for the German tour...and this time bass duties will be handled by Janne Rajala since Harri is busy with prior commitments (what a great band name by the way!). Janne played thru all the songs making only 3-4 mistakes so I'm happy to say that it'll be a pleasure to play with him. As he also sings everything will go very smoothly. And we'll have 2-3 songs which we haven't played in Germany before in the set.

Last weekend I went to see Hanoi Rocks for the first time and I must say it was a fun evening. Andy McCoy and I share the same "local" bar and he's a character for sure! Thanks for the backstage pass! Later in the evening I met Kride Meurman who is in Finland's Idols finals. We've known each other for some years and he says he's a fan...well, the way he sings I'm a fan!Kride is very talented and I hope he'll win. It would be nice to have a decent ...sorry! Great rock singer who isn't a child/newbie win this time! Good luck Kride!

Today Muddy Manninen came buy to check out some of my amps for the Wishbone Ash recording session at Miris studio starting next week. Andy Powell got my Guild acoustic for the songwriting sessions so it's kinda cool to be able to help the guys.

I've again added a gig in Germany and there'll be a few gigs in Finland for the summer as well.
I also hope we'll have 3-4 gigs with the Granfelt / Nikku Guitar fest.
Stay tuned!

Ben
