ROCK ‘N’ ROMANCE ‘N’ ROLLING WAVES

In March, we returned to the Caribbean by way of the “70’s Rock And Romance” cruise. On this one, you play either the “first half” or the “second half”, and we were on the latter leg. We flew into Cozumel’s nifty little Airport (how cool it is to descend the “old school” staircase and see the massive aircraft up close). After a night’s stay at the incredibly posh “El Presidente Intercontinental” Hotel we boarded the Celebrity Summit the next morning. We had a number of friends on this leg of the cruise: John Lodge from the Moody Blues, The Jefferson Starship, and Danny Seraphine first and foremost. New friends included the gents from “Toast”, a stellar tribute to the group “Bread”, and the “Who Generation”, who did a great sendup of the Who’s hits. The folks from the production company “StarVista” were also glad to see us, remembering us from cruises past.

We played 2 shows in the “Pool Area”: the first a late-night party (11pm!) in the cool night air. 2pm on Friday found us back on deck with a packed crowd. Weather was a bit overcast, but that was actually a blessing, for we were spared the blazing tropical sun and its relentless heat. Our old pal Cathy Richardson from the Starship joined us onstage for the powerful duet with JP on “Blue Storm Rising” from our latest “Play On” Album. Always a treat to jam with C.R.!
We also did a fun Q&A session and “meet/greet”, which was taped and ran on the ship’s TeeVee system. It was great to meet fans from all over the world, and wouldn’t you know it, more than a few from the Chicagoland area.

All-in-all, 2 fine voyages. If you haven’t been on one of these, we recommend you try one-(especially if we’re featured). Keep an eye on our website…
