4th day, Bordeaux, France, Wednesday, 3rd of may 1995, Krakatoa This club is a very nice place in Bordeaux. In my memory there is this souvenir of my luggage. I helped in Rennes to load the van with all the luggage of the band. Finally we left Rennes and in Bordeaux I saw, my own bag was left in Rennes. All I had to do was to ask the club manager to help me. And he did. It was unbelievable great help. He wrote a fax to the hotel in Rennes and asked the hotel manager to send my bag to

Last day on the Ball Of Fire 1997 tour for me The way from Nancy to Strasbourg isn’t that far, so we arrived early.

Second last day for me on the Ball Of Fire 1997 tour I have a single room (I don’t remember why). We’re in the Hotel Ibis in Nancy. Because Shay was with the both Lloyds in Paris, I have seen the rooming list and I wasn’t on the list, but a name of an old friend of mine. It was a bit strange for me to see this, without knowing about it. I mean, I knew, I have to leave the tour in Strasbourg the next day, but I didn’t know why. Now, I realized, that I was out and

Sixth day of the Ball Of Fire 1997 tour At the breakfast I was talking with Lester Sterling about Peter Tosh. Lester told me, that Peter Tosh used to call him “Mr. Sterling”. Later, when Tosh was famous, Lesters brother Keith Sterling was in the Tosh band, so they met again. Tosh didn’t recognized Lester, so Keith introduced him to Tosh. And Tosh said: “Hello Lester”. That’s how things are chaning.

Fifth day of the Ball Of Fire 1997 tour From the bretagne to Rennes it was the same way back.
October 19, 1997, France, Plouneour Trez, Les Hesperides
Fourth day of the Ball Of Fire 1997 tour The breakfast in Rennes was as small as all the other ones so far on this tour. Brevett is a lot talking in monologues. The feeling in the crew is not that easy as it should be. It’s too much moaning about this and that. I don’t know who is talking shit, but nobody is on the same line. The way to this wonderful place was all through the nice Bretagne.
