I've toured Canada and loved it, but the only time I set foot in America was on a trip to Belize to entertain the troops. Within minutes of arriving in the Washington airport bar with fellow musicians I found myself defending the BBC against an irate American who called it "Commie television".Red rag to a bull with me. It ended when a huge cop with a gun hove in view. I bought a souvenir T shirt and exited left!
Basically, I'm tired of travelling and getting in to America is such a hassle these days with visas and passport etc that I couldn't face it.
Sorry Bill D, but if you ever get over here I'll give you a personal concert in my living room!
