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…

Had a sandwich and some coffee on the bus  while watching ”Sunday with Ola” on YouTube. A good way to start the day. I then spent the next few hours in the tiny backstage room doing absolutely nothing. Grey and bleak…
