Fanatic! Presently in Cambridge in the legendary Corn Exchange. Not my first time here but it’s been awhile, for sure. I wanted to get these notes finished and sent off to you as I’m not sure if I’ll be able to tomorrow, when I’ll be on two flights heading back to the USA.

Tonight will be show #44 in a row. This might be the most I’ve ever done without a night off. Strangely, I don’t feel all that worn out. There’s some muscle ache but past that, I wish we were able to start the entire run all over again. Tour returns to Australia for the first time in seven years this June.

I never “look forward” to tours ending but usually, I have some thoughts as to what I’ll try to get up to when I return but this time around, I’m still unable to connect the facts that tonight is the last show and soon we’ll at Heathrow and going on from there.

The last few shows have featured an all-star post-show cast including all three members of Ruts DC, Mr. Segs, Mr. Ruffy and Mr. Leigh, as well as TV Smith, Gaye Advert and Mark Mob. Wow! Everyone seemed to be in good health. Great to see them all.

Of course, the most important thing is we have a great batch of tunes lined up for you. By the time you’re reading this, I should be able to unfold myself from the seated position enough to do my laundry, which shows you how exciting my Saturday night will be.

Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!
