I found, at the age of 63, that travelling in a Van is too much for this ‘ole’ boy’, but the people of Holland and Germany were so friendly and welcoming, and the Snowy gigs were so much fun and in your face, it was well worth the effort, and I’m ready to do it all again, apart from the Van, (ha..ha…ha).
My back is really sore from that Van. I am so used to the luxury of the Who, that I forgot what real travel is like for the musicians who don’t travel like I do with the Who.
Thanks to the Who too for giving me such great travel treatment.
I’d like to thank all the crew, the band of many musicians, the audiences, Lucas and his family in Germany, and Maurice in Holland for making me laugh so much. Thank you all for the fine reception I got and thanks to my Main Man, Snowy White for bringing me along.
Thanks to Juan, Walter, Jeff, Kuma, Ruud, Richard Bailey, and the loveable rogue, Max Middleton on other Keys. Our 2 different distince styles of playing work extremely well together.
THANK YOU ALL………John Rabbit Bundrick
