Committee meetings about nothing
Guitar Player has an interview with Ritchie Blackmore on the occasion of the latest Rainbow 75/76 box set.
After delving deep into the history, one of the questions was concerning the present day state of affairs:
What plans do you have for music ahead, if any, with Blackmore’s Night, Rainbow or anything else?
Despite having heart and back problems, I have never had such a horrible experience as that vertigo attack on our tour. I don’t wish that on my worst enemy. It started off with a virus which apparently went to my ears and upset the balance of the small crystals in the ear canals.
After this I have come to the conclusion I hate traveling. I’ve hated it ever since I was a child and I used to travel with my mother when we went to Bristol and Bath, where my relatives were. Every time we would leave in the coach I would throw up over the passenger in front of us. For some strange reason they didn’t like that. I have hated traveling ever since. I now seem to have a phobia about being confined in a car or a van or anything that travels.
Since we live on Long Island, I’m hoping we can put some shows together in small theaters where people can come and see us. That way, I wouldn’t have to travel more than an hour.

Thanks to Georgius Novicianus for the heads-up.

So that is why Cozy was in the band. sheesh! For crap so called chocolate, not any of the classy European chocolate that rules the world. Good to see John Bonham liking Cozy. Why do I get the feeling that a certain aficionado of those two drummers will be saying something. Enter the one and only, Mr Uwe Hornung. Take it away Uwe and try to keep it in a nutshell, please.. Cheers.
