Strange to be traveling on this Halloween of all Halloweens: the USA is on high alert against potential Terrorism. We have just played a gig here in Houston, for the PGA: a big success. Among those who played last night, but who are NOT joining us on the trip South were John Cafferty, Mike Reno, and Pat Travers (sadly, Pat is flying to tour in Europe with his own band). So we are joined by “new boy” George Nastos, as additional guitarist. He comes highly recommended from Glenn and Joe-Lynn, which is certainly good enough for me! Also new to the origanisation, Fergie Frederickson will be along to sing Toto’s material (as he is
eminently qualified to do so)
We were warned to check in early to avoid problems, so we were at the airport almost 5 hours before departure time. 25 minutes after arriving at the airport, I was standing just past security, having checked in, and gone through, with more than 4 hours to kill time. Eventually, we were all standing somewhat bemused, wondering how to kill so much time. Well, what else, but shop and eat!
The flight was not full, which meant we were able to spread out a bit throughout the cabin. This took some of the sting out of the 10 hour flight.
