The two shows in Spain would be this year but at this point they are very much up in the air. Probably 50/50 chance at best. It was brought up by Lucinda’s agent and I said that we would definitely want to do them if it was possible but I haven’t heard anything back for awhile so it’s getting less likely every day.
Thank’s for the information Tom. If we cannot see you in Spain we’ll travel safely to London! 8)

…you mean Tom, that Lucinda will play in Spain this year or next summer??? 😮
bigsubi, I can’t believe you let almost 17 hours elapse before you jumped on this one. I had heard rumors, but I call this the horse’s mouth and wanted to let that voice speak before I did. “Very possible” sounds like you may be in luck–and I think your city is one of the two prospective ones. I’ll say no mas for now. My best to “blessed”. . .
We’ll not consider critical situation if not passes 24h from the announcement, Stoger! 😉

4/3
Made it to Sydney about two hours ago and it’s déjà vu all over again. We are in exactly the same hotel room that we were in three years ago- we were also in the exact same room in Melbourne. Something very strange about that-really brings back a lot of memories from that tour three years ago. I had forgotten a lot of it and that was a good thing.. I will however, never forget being trapped in this very same 26th floor room when downtown Sydney had an electrical blackout. The elevators were down and we were not allowed to use the stairs. Hope you like the view because you ain’t going anywhere for awhile. We barely made it out in time for the 4 hour drive to Canberra. Not a memorable night as it was a log drive down and back to play to a very unresponsive audience. The ride was back was somewhat saved by some very colorful stories from the one and only Butch. No Canberra this time.So the Melbourne show is in the books. There was a palpable but healthy nervous energy before the show as is usual with first shows –and the first one with new guitar player Stuart. On the daily schedule sheets we have what we call the IMOTD which stands for Inspired Moment Of The Day but basically is the quote of the day from band or crew member — the quote on yesterday’s day sheet was Lucinda telling Stuart that she could already tell how great he was going to be –even though as we reminded her, he had yet to play a show. He got a lot of ribbing over that. There’s nothing like a little pressure to motivate the new guitar player. I share that anecdote because it didn’t take long to see that Stuart was going to live up to her pre-show evaluation. They had a pretty instant chemistry. Afterwards Lucinda was thrilled. Let’s just say that it was apparent that a lot of songs that had sort of gotten “lost” were suddenly back and sounding better than they had in some time and she was very happy about that. Not taking anything away from the previous guitar player but some songs had just lost their way or were not quite right. Probably more than it was realized. Two that I would put in that category were Unsuffer Me and Righteously. It turned out to be a really good night with a very big and excellent audience in the house.
We did have one scare yesterday as Doug’s plane from Puerto Rico to LA was cancelled. After a 5 AM panic call to Tour Mg Eric, he was able to be re-routed thru NY. So his flight was now Puerto Rico to NY to LA to Sydney. He got in this morning and was able to get a full row on the plane so he slept for 12 hours. That was lucky. Lu is really looking forward to having both Stuart and Doug for these next few shows. Should be fun.
…West Words, you asked what any fan would ever ask and you Tom, you answered what any fan would hear…in two words, “heavenly music”…family, London calls us and we’ll be there!!!…
Great and awaited news, Tom! 😀
That’s another birthday gift for Mercedes this weekend! 😀 😀
And for our “Plan to Marry”. 😀 😀 😀@romanno saint wrote:

8) cool, very cool…
Even cooler if I could join you in the Old World third quarter of 2012, bigsubi, no?
Cooler to the max Stoger 😉 Sick to know the dates!
