{Ba ha ha hamas!
Ok, friends…
How are we doin’? Summer is ONNNNN! That’s right! It has gone all hot and sticky here in sunny LA. We are officially out of the dreaded June Gloom… and not a bloody gloomy day too soon. [Hmmm, I’m a poet and I don’t know it!]
I have had a zillion messages from you all, asking me to tell you about my recent trip with Rod Stewart to the Bahamas.. Yep… it was a gig for the books, for sure. We were on a resort beach, rented out by some wealthy Russian Americans for a BIG private B-Day bash. Just us and 100 people on this amazing stretch of turquoise sea and white sands with a little private island just off to the right. We had this gorgeous house on the cliffs, all 12 of us… it was like a new reality show: « The baking of the band »…
Then we were golf carted down to a full rock stage with lights and concert sound, there was white furniture all over the beach with candles, catered to perfection with an open bar and Cuban cigars. Sweeeeeet! It seemed a bit surreal, as the guests were all wearing white… white linen… it was a sight, for sure… They were dancin’ around like maniacs and standing in front of Rod on the beach while he was singin’ on stage snappin’ pics for their friends back home like tourists in front of a statue! Well, they went nuts and were partyin’ and screamin’… We rocked ’em good… We had to.
We had sand in places we didn’t know we had places after it was all said and done. Rod was in fine form and we had a lot of laughs… oh, except for the Bahamas beetles… yep, these bigass bugs were attracted to the lights onstage and so we were besieged with beetles, and not the singing type, either. Well it was all good fun for most, but let’s just say… a few of the women in the band weren’t too into the bugs… AT ALL! Hahahaha! Ah, that’s why they call it the Ba ha ha hamas… [Thanks, Dante for the evil laugh].
So now, I’m back, none the wiser but much the tanner after some good times on the beach with a fun crowd… It was truly a blast!
So, hey… there will be some news very soon on a few different fronts, so stay real close, ya’ hear?
Y’all come back nayw!
