Man, that is some professional level tourist work.  Amazing planning and timing (the space shuttle takes the cake).  Can you arrange OUR next vacation?
 
In your Baked Potato pic that's Mike Miller on guitar, Marvin Smitty Smith on drums, Walt Fowler on trumpet, (looks like I've momentarily fallen asleep - on bass) and Mitch Forman on keys.  Good fun!
 
it was nice to see you both again, glad you had a fine trip and are safely home.  After all that you may need a vacation!

Oh, I must d this someday... What a nice trip!
 
ps.: Any relation with Tom Fowler, Jimmy?
Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!

Mario,
I believe Walt, Tom, and Bruce are all brothers.

Hey, Jimmy! Nice band! I've loved Smitty's playing for a long time, especially with Steve Coleman. Also, I recorded Mitch's gigs with Mike Stern and Bill Evans back in the early eighties at The Willow. I recorded them on Ampex cassettes, which have fallen apart. I made copies for him on Maxell and would love to get another copy. If you get a chance to ask him if still has them, that would be great! They were some amazing shows.

Graeme, sorry for the late response - sounds like you had a great trip! It was a pleasure to meet you and your wife and to get to hear you play my SC!
 
If you have more pics, would love to see some - either here or in the other thread.

Sounds like a cool trip!
The pic with the old Traynor bass master caught my eye; don't see too many in the states...anyone looking for vintage tube amps should look for Traynors as they're still kinda cheap and are really well built and sound killer...honestly they're equivalent to the Marshalls and Fenders of their day but with BETTER transformers; hard to kill and easy to work on...Tony
