Ol Rusty is getting ready to fly to LA in July for rehearsals for the tour. And, without giving too much away, we’ll be playing a song from the Gethsemene period! I shant give the track title away, you’ll have to come out and see/ hear for yourself!

And hey, I understand the economy has everyone watching the pennies..me included. That’s why we have Probyn Gregory playing trumpet (Alone Again, Clark & Hilldale), Keyboards (Stephanie Knows Who, Andmoreagain, other tunes), Melodica/Flute parts (Orange Skies, etc), Harmonica and various other things.

We’re doing AT LEAST 3 tunes that either haven’t been recorded by LOVE (but performed) or were recorded (but not performed) since the mid-to-late 1960’s.

I think Arthur would approve. He loved his original band and their Bido Lido shows are legendary. I hope we can capture even an ounce of that magic. Even though Arthur is not with us on stage, his heart and soul never left. I am really happy and excited to play these shows and Johnny Echols…whew…he is READY and all the guys in the band are gonna give the best shows possible.

And I haven’t even touched on playing with Sky Saxon…which is a whole nuther blog and something altogether beautiful on it’s own…and thank the lord for Tina Winter, who has been working hard for the Cali 66 Revue…go Tina!
