On
May 20th, I left Miami to hook up with STYX for the Universal Amphitheater
gig. Los Angeles has always been a very cool city to work and play
in for me. Roseanne Arquette visited the band in the dressing
room. She had a mini cam with her and I gave an impromptu
interview. Very cool! The gig certainly lived up to my
expectations!
Next stop was the Chronicle
Pavilion in Concord California. It's in northern CA where the state
shines a golden hue. It was a very HOT crowd and later that night I
met up with a few friends.
Marysville was next. It was there that Todd,
Gary and I decided to fly to Denver. A 1,175 mile ride was replaced
with a 45 min Air flight. At a hip shop in Denver, I picked up the
black duster I wear during Rengade. The "Mile High" city is always
physically challenging.
Next gig was at the
USANA Amphitheatre in Salt Lake City, Utah. I have fond memories
from the previous gigs but one that will really stand out is when John and
I flew low altitude over the Great Salt Lake. I also met my friend
Dylan's mother and sister.
I have included a few photo's of some after show
meets as well as Daniel. Daniel Wills is the son of Rick Wills,
legendary bassist with Foreigner who has also played with Bad Company,
Davis Gilmore, The Faces and many other
well-known English
bands. Daniel, 26, is a songwriter, guitarist and recording engineer
in his own right, and is currently our assistant tour manager.
He has replaced Jason (who by the way is doing quite well). Jason is
currently driving the Jagermeister Van and will be in the Chicago GAY
Pride Pararde
I leave Tuesday, June 15th, for
the East Coast part of the tour.
See you
there...
Peace,
Chuck
