Whoooooooo!!!! That was wonderful...absolutely super!! What a fun trip. The music was great, and so were the "hosts" onboard. I've had the good fortune to visit your fair land, and the countryside that you showed in the beginning of the tape was as lovely as I remember it. I'm already looking forward to the promised next episode.
Thanks for sharing this, Basil and friends.

Thanks Joy...The guy singing is my buddy Bob Brolly MBE.. (he's a royal appointed knight)..got the award for his work for charity.. Bob and I have worked together for the past few years.. so far this year we've raised over $250,000 for breast cancer research..One gig at the Birmingham Symphony Hall raised over £80,000 and a golf classic we ran in Tenerife raised £15,000
It's great fun and very rewarding to play for good causes.. |

What a rowdy crewse.
Is Sir Bob from Texas? I think ya'll would do well here, cruising down the Colorado....
The pedal steel knocked me out, that's one of my favorites. "Take it away, Leon--I mean Baz!" |

Thanks Charlie..
I fact Bob is from "Derry" and if you can just imagine this..a Catholic Lad from Ireland going to Meet the queen in Buckingham Palace to be awarded the MBE.
It doesn't happen very often.
By the way, he got his award for his work for charities and broadcasting with the BBC.
As for cruising down the Colorado, I don't think it would be quite as leisurely..anyway I would probably stop playing and have a go at the fishing..
Quite a few of our fan club come to the cruise twice a year and they travel from all over..In fact we are most lucky to have such dedicated fans, over a hundred of them booked their holidays to coincide with the golf classic we ran in Tenerife for the breast cancer charity. |
