They come in threes

Previous instalments: here and here.

    The Man in Black, Johnny Cash, happy days eh? I will try to get in first before Uwe does, (with would be an utter miracle). In regard to the no rehearsal with Jerry Lee Lewis, we wonder if Ritchie was heading along those lines with this old habit with the 2016 Rainbow rehearsals. Oh, how very droll and sharper than the serpents tooth. Cheers.

    There’s another bad habit Ritchie picked up, with the Gene Vincent ‘incident’. Blaming someone else he he he. Oh I am paying out today on poor ole Ritchie. Uwe would be enjoying that, wouldn’t he? Cheers.
