Fantastic Tony to have with the Gang too in Paris.
our Family gang is strong and growing.

Tickets bought. However, judging by my chaotic organisation in Raalte, I've probably booked to see Brenda Lee in Olympia in Greece this winter

Ha, that's a good one, Les. Is she singing "I'm Sorry"?

Love the mental imagery this evokes, Alan. You are too funny! Must be a Scottish thing. Sure hope I can make it for this event and trade witticisms with you and the gang, in between guitar riffs or whenever... :-)

Complete with knotted hankie on head and Tupperware box of cheese sangwidges?

Too bulky Graeme, maybe I could pop into Ikea (Paris), buy a flat-pack chair, you could all crowd round me, shielding me from the stewards, whilst I knock it together - voila! - one bedside cabinet???????

but she'll have to miss the concert because she doesn't do standing in crowds. She's gutted, but not everyone likes the standing gig thing.

I'm with Rosie...Last time Janet and I saw Gov't Mule, we had to call it a night at the intermission...Johnny and Alvin, and get there early with Pieter!...This easily sounds like 4-5 hours worth of stand up time...Not saying it's a deal killer, but it doesn't encourage us to make such a long trip...I never stood for an entire show to see Alvin in my teens and 20's...Not sure I'm willing to at 56 either...

Hi Graeme...Janet and I have really suffered over this decision...In the end I'm afraid we're going to hold out hope that Alvin still finds his way over here to the United States....The time and expense to travel to Paris is one thing, but to get there and have the show be cancelled for any reason would be devastating...This is not a final decision, but like some others have already stated, I wish we'd had a bit more time to get ourselves together and be able to purchase the tickets a couple of months before the show instead of right now...If we don't get to join you guys, have a great time in Paris.
