Hey, I’m back!

Thanks for the zillions of happy birthday wishes I received.. I truly think I have the best friend/fans anywhere. I dare anyone to show me a list of more cool and devoted followers.

So, after Paul and Band’s sold out “Good Evening Europe, Ireland, London” tour I flew straight to Miami and woke up early for TV interviews on 2 channels click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8x0CNJ3MnU&feature=related. I don’t watch my own interviews but I heard it was ok at least I didn’t fall asleep.

Good Evening London, Good Morning Miami!

It’s freezing here in London as we are about to wrap up our Good Evening tour in Dublin and London. I have some news for you all!

So, during my recent stadium tour playing with Paul McCartney, I was invited to dinner with Miami Dolphins owner, Steven Ross, and David Saltz of ABC in NYC. I suggested an idea… “just picture having a big exciting drum line on the field, pounding out a relentless rhythm at a half-time show.. but then… instead of the expected marching band of tubas, trombones, saxes and trumpets…. a big reveal.. 100 kids playing guitars…playing iconic rock riffs together in a celebration of rock and roll.”

Reflections on rehearsing for our European tour with Paul McCartney

We’ve just finished our rehearsals in the south of England as we prepare for our European tour, our last of 2009. While we’ve been together for going on eight years, each time we get together, it’s somehow different. We’re reconvening from different paths even though it’s been a short three and one half months since our last show in Dallas. We’ve each been busy with our own projects and our own lives.
