it’s a sad day…still raining…we fly to portugal from paris…it’s a very turbulent flight as the plane sways from side to side and at times drops rapidly…crazy…looking out i view the portugese landscape below, hold on tightly, and think of my father who is passing slowly away on the other side of the world in hamilton ohio. one more show and we will return to the states where i will then join my family. they believe he will gently pass sometime tonite…ursula and i say our before show prayer to lou w. motzer and dedicate our show to him…a passionate performance and final 16th show of our eurotour….after our show peaches takes the stage for some stooges style crotchNroll…she’s cool…a wind down with friends backstage and then back to ipanema hotel where upon entering my room the phone is flashing and ringing…i can’t answer i know what the call brings…i will call home tomorrow…………………….
