Torre Alfina 2



We did get to eat dinner with Mossimo. He is the fine gentleman that put this tour together for us(Man drinking 2 beers) He was really funny and very cool to us. He is Monolo's boss and is was fun to watch them interact. Pretty funny. This gig was sort of surreal. It was in a town Square next to the castle and an old church. They had a light show shining on both. At sound check Joe asked for them to find something to set the amp on to raise it up off the stage. They brought a beer keg. We fell out laughing. The crowd was mostly older people and they did not know what to make of us and our Texas Blues. A core group of younger people did get it and we rocked them good. Then..... it was over. WOW. 9 gigs in 10 days all over Italy. I most say i am privileged to be in this band and i love to watch Joe and Bnois every night. Bnois is a really funny guy and i like haning with him. Joe and i have a ton in common and i feel close to him. We sat and chatted for a while and back to the farmhouse. Ruby and i get a room together, cool.We get up very early (i forget when) and drive to Rome airport. Ruby and Dalen catch a train to Milan to return to the US. After some trouble checking our instruments we catch our plane. We get to the US and our connecting flight is delayed, delayed, delayed, canceled. AHHHHH. I need sleep. They give us hotel vouchers and we spent the night in Ohio. Early the next morning we catch planes home. The band to Dallas and me to San Diego. I really want to thanks Joe and Phyliss Kubek for helping me have this wonderful experience and facilitating Ruby and Dalen's Italy trip as well. This was a very exciting trip for me and a dream come true. I have officially rocked Italy. Thanks also to my new friend Monolo and Mossiomo.
A week off in San Diego and back to Dallas. We have a tour up the middle.
