We are getting ready to play Regina on Friday night. I love the folks in Saskatchewan, they rock.

Just had a rehearsal with a long time friend and bass player, Dave Reimer, who is going to substitute for Mick this weekend in Medicine Hat. Check the tour dates for location: http://www.colinarthur.com

Dave is an awesome singer and a great bass player. Dave toured with a version of BTO in the late 1980′s. A little known fact is that Dave and I played in a band together in Victoria when we were 19 years of age. We wrote award winning songs and spent many days driving around in my old Ford van that I bought from Dave’s dad. It will be kind of cool to play together again.

I’m looking forward to getting on the road where I’ll have more time to update this Blog.

For anybody following along on this blog I welcome your comments. (You can post as anonymously if you want) I have been getting emails from many of you and it’s so cool to hear where everybody is from.

Our next tour isn’t quite as exotic as Sweden, it’s actually Alberta, Canada. One thing is for sure, the Albertans know how to rock. I used to live in Calgary and I have very fond memories of Wild Rose country. If you know about xml feeds you can add this blog feed to your website.

The first day home was no problem. Half way through the second day back, I was a walking zombie. (hmm JetLag is kind of a cool name for a band) It’s good to be home, I was just getting into the European groove and I could go back tomorrow. I think everyone should spend some time overseas and absorb some different culture. This was a short introductory tour and it was great to see old fans and meet new friends.

Thank you all for the wonderful emails! It is so cool to connect with people all over the world. Alot of people from different countries have been following this blog as well. Even though we are not touring for a couple of weeks I will continue to add more content.

A guy came to the Copenhagen gig with every vinyl album that Randy has either produced or played on. including Trooper albums, Guess Who Albums and a plethora of BTO compilations.
Some albums Randy had never seen or even knew existed. It was cool to see the fans embrace our band. Note to new bands: work on your brand and then hold on to it.
