THE WHO-REHEARSAL DAY 1 - JUNE 1 2006-BRAY STUDIOS - WINDSORE

WOW.........I ROLLED INTO THE REHEARSAL STUDIO TODAY ABOUT 1pm I GUESS.

ROAD CREW WERE ALL DOING THEIR BITS, HELLOS AND HUGS,
THEN NOISE LEVELS ROSE TO FIGHTER JET VOLUME AS ZAK CAME IN,
STARTED WHACKING HIS DRUMS, SIMON DOING AND CHECKING HIS GUITAR AMPS, WHEN 
ONE OF THEM STARTED SMOKING AND BLEW UP. HE SAID HE HADN'T EVEN PLAYED THRU 
IT YET....
IT JUST STARTED BELLOWING OUT SMOKE......THEN PINO ...THUMP Y THUMPY
BOM......THEN ME AND MY HAMMOND OF THE KILLING FIELDS TYPE GROWLED AT
THE WALLS..THAT'S A GRUMPY OLD HAMMOND I GOT THERE......

ROG, WALKS IN, THEN PETE COMES IN.
HERE'S THE EXCITING BIT.....
WE'RE ALL THERE, AND BEFORE WE PLAY A NOTE, SOMEBODY SAID
LET'S GO HAVE LUNCH, SO OFF WE WENT.....STOMACHS 1st......Wallets 2nd.....

AFTER LUNCH, BACK TO THE ROOM, AND WE STAND AROUND TALKING FOR
HOURS, THEN WE 'PLAY'.....'VOLUME UP, HEADS
DOWN........BANG.........CRANG!
OFF WE GO......TODAY, JUST TO WARM UP, WE PLAYED ABOUT 8 OR 9 SONGS,
THEN TALKED AWAY, THE SOME MORE SONGS...

PETE IN FINE FORM, ROGER LOOKING FIT AS A HORSES ASS......
ZAK LOOKING LIKE HE WON THE LOTTERY, SIMON LOOKING LIKE A
GUY YOU COULD TRUST, PINO, COOL AS EVER, AND ME, LOOKING
VERY MUCH LIKE I SHOULDN'T EVEN BE THERE......THESE GUYS DON'T NEED ME.
THEY MAKE PLENTY OF NOISE ON THEIR OWN.....HA....HA

IT WAS A GREAT, FUN DAY, TO SEE THEM ALL AGAIN, AND EVERYONE LOOKING
AND BEHAVING AS A BAND OF BROTHERS........AS LONG AS YOU DON'T SAY THE
WRONG THING, YOU CAN STAY........AND KEEP YOUR IDEAS TO YOURSELF.....
WHAT A WONDERFUL GIG......

GOING BE A BIG TOUR, AND BY THE SOUNDS OF TODAY, IT'S GONNA
BE SOME COOL THINGS GOING ON IN AND AROUND THE GIGS TOO.

THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY FOR DAY 1.....
MORE LATER.......SORRY I CAN'T ADD PICS TO THESE DIARIES.
I HAVEN'T GOT THE CODES TO KNOW HOW TO ADD THEM.....

IF ANYBODY OUT THERE EVER WANTS TO GIVE ME ANYTHING,
I LIKE AMERICAN INDIANS........
