Greetings from Saltzburg!

Great show last night and a very nice venue too! The last time I was here was 10 years ago with the Guitar Slingers :-) ... memories, memories ha,ha
We've had some very nice shows but unforunately also some bad luck with a couple of shows...snowy wheater and the no smoking ban seem to affect some clubs very hard with loosing half their clientel. I guess it will take some time to ge the people back in to the clubs, I just hope they don' t have to close before that... it's a tough business!
On www.youtube.com you can find some new live clips taken by our good friend Reinhard.

John is fitting in (on?) like a tight glove and we're having a great time.
being on the road is great but sometimes the journeys really take their toll (1800 km in the last 3 days!!).

Random stuff that's happening ....,

John was in high spirits when he found out that one of the venues (Village in Habach) was the set for a legendery German XXX movie that he's got on VHS.... he's now looking for the dvd version with bonus material :-)

We have a chance to record the last show on this tour for (yet) another live album. I think that unless we're dead tired we'll do it for historys sake.

I've had a bit of time in the hotel rooms and can happily say that I have 8 song ideas ready for the next album... It's great when inspiration flows ha,ha!

Still many dates left , come and join us!

all the best,

Ben
