Monte Carlo

We did 2 wonderful nights at the sporting club with it’s fabulous Casino Showroom that has 25 feet high floor to ceiling window panels that can be closed or opened to the balmy night air.

From 10 years ago I remember the stunning signs of staggering wealth. It’s still the same. Ferraris & Maseratis everywhere & private yachts that look like cruise ships. It’s fun to dream!! We did both nights on a beautifully equipped elegant stage with 2 other bands just before us. The Sporting Club Orchestra with violas & cellos and a good young singer form Denmark named Hannah. The other band was Brazillian & just burnin!!! And when they joined us on stage for an all out jam on “Mas Que Nada”, the place was like New Year’s Eve.

Ha-Ha-Ha!!! I know it was New Year’s Eve for Debbie, who had friends that came from Paris to hang out with her & have a good time. Debbie was heard to say, “I need a nap!!!!” ME TOO!!!!

The tour is over on the continent, but we’ll hit the ground running in America. Better sleep hard & fast on the plane.
