Day 10 Berlin
Holy shit, there’s a bright, warm thing in the sky today. Haven’t seen one of those in a couple of weeks. Very nice breakfast at the venue: bacon, eggs, sausages, different kinds of bread. Coffee! Back to work with the…
Day 9 Warsaw
Nice, big venue today. Haven’t been here in years. Great catering, except for the fact that there’s no coffee. Ha! Found the coffee. It was on a lower floor. Now the day can begin. Doing some more work on the…
Day 8 Travel Day
Ah, the glorious experience of Polish roads woke me up. Rough and very uneven. But a lot better than 25 years ago. Jeez, I just realised that I’ve been a touring musician for 25 years! 25!!! I’m very thankful to…

Day 2 Tampere
Another great venue today. Big and clean. Good breakfast. Coffee and dark bread. Sat with my laptop all day, downloading files for a project I’m about to record. It’s for a Swedish artist and a big-name American producer. Being able…
