DAY
NINE : FLORENCE
Teatro Tenda : Berenice
Nicely rested after their
first day off for ages, the boys are well up for today's show.
We arrived yesterday afternoon after a fairly long journey and
the hotel from hell in Rome, which included the delights of negative
light bulbs ( they actually made the rooms darker when switched
on) and shower fittings that sprayed water on to light switches
.......... nice! No such problems in Florence, however as we
are installed into the Sheraton. It's a gloriously sunny day
and Midge and Russ' families have joined us for a couple of days.
Our night off is celebrated at a splendid traditional Italian
restraunt, and we all have far too much to eat and drink. Next
morning everyone heads off into Florence so do some serious shopping
and siteseeing ..... sorry not many piccys, cos everyone was
far too busy spending money ...... Josh was very proud of his
new leather jacket, which everyone tried on.
The gig
was in a large circus tent, but with some of the nicest back
stage areas we've had all tour! Both crowd and band are in enthusiastic
mood and the show goes extremly well. This is probably the most
enthusiastic audience we've had all the time we have been in
Italy and Midge is clearly enjoying himself. The current backstage
joke is that Troy needs a remote controlled stool so that he
can join Midge in a guitar/pipe duel in "May Your Good Lord".
