Corespondece
No problem, understand about the difficult fee. if we could arrange
something sometime while I am on tour anyway, I would have no problem
playing for much less, as Ultra Red are doing. Keep in mind that
travel time from my house to Zagreb is about 40 to 50 hours
roundtrip, which is a long long tim to sit folded into an airplane
for one concert..
So let's keep looking out for a chance to do something when I am there anyway.
One chance would be in July, when I will be in Nickelsdorf, Austria.
thanks, and good luck,
bob
