Ruminations at the end of a leg

If you think I’m going to sit here and look for words of complaint about the rapid passing of time, you’d be right.  I realise that the precious time spent with my mother before she passed away took a large chunk out of the year but even so, I find myself looking at September coming around when I had barely kissed goodbye to January. 

 

My sad news

My sad news

My sad news; my mother, Brenda Glover, passed away on the 10th June, 2008. She was 86 and spent two and a half years fighting cancer.

My life has been put on hold for the last three months as my sister Christine and I have been caring for her in her home in the UK.

I am deeply indebted to my band-mates for allowing me this time off.

 

March Update 2008

After the South American Tour, which went very well, I returned to the UK to help my sister Christine care for our mother, Brenda. She is nearly 86 and has been battling cancer for a few years. The whole family has been wonderfully supportive and my Mum is comfortable and happy, still laughing. I am happy to have some time off and spend it with her.

 

December words

This has been a busy year, to say the least. It’s also been a fantastic year. The Rapture Tour threaded its way around this blue planet and everywhere we visited we received the moving welcomes that we are almost in danger of taking for granted. But be assured that they are never taken for granted; every night for us is a special night.

 

In transition

The US tour is over and we’re now scattered all over the place like autumn leaves in the breeze. Most people go away for their holidays – we go home.

The best perk of what I do is to travel. I remember as a kid thinking that I would never ever be able to afford a ticket to America, that mythical land where great music came from.
