Road World - Chapter 2
Now is the calm before the storm of
controlled chaos begins. I call this period the "pre-road mode".
This is when you have to prepare to go from your normal everyday
life into a parallel universe known as "Road World". A place
where suddenly, your wrist watch and the alarm clock become
indispensable tools and your itinerary becomes your road bible.
It means you'll be in strange places, eating strange food, sleeping
in strange beds, dealing with passports, visas, customs, conversions
and god only knows what else.
But
in return, you can be sure that a visit to "Road World" will
always provide an unforgettable adventure. I'm sure that all
you BREAD Heads out there are going to make, what I like to
call, the "GRATEFUL BREAD" tour a huge success and a wonderful
experience for all of us. We've received so much great E-mail
regarding the tour and the group and we'd like you to know
we really appreciate it. In fact, we recently received our
first E-mail from South Africa, which by the way, is the first
leg of the international tour. So folks, "keep them cards
and letters comin' in". Speaking of South Africa, David just
recently returned from there after a successful promotional
tour which included stops in Australia and New Zealand.
In fact, one of the highlights of our visit to New Zealand
will be working two concert dates with the Aukland Symphony
Orchestra. That is definitely going to be very cool. Over
the next year or so, I'll be periodically updating this journal
with new entries from various locations on the tour. Obviously,
it will be from the drummer's perspective but I hope to include
some entries from the other guys too. So, as long as you continue
to read and enjoy this journal I'll keep writing. But right
now, I think I'd better head out to the garage to see if I
can locate my luggage. I've got a lot of packing to do. Now
let me see, where did I put those bags?
The best from BREAD!
Sincerely: Michael Botts
P.S. Stay tuned for the next exciting adventure of "Road World"
