Ronnie James Dio, RIP

Ronnie James Dio, RIP

A huge part of my life just disappeared.  Words are not enough, emotions are too much.

My sincere condolences to Ronnie’s family and friends.

Making of the Butterfly Ball

A set of interviews with Ronnie Dio, Eddie Hardin, Ray Fenwick, Alan Aldridge (author of the book) surfaced on Youtube some time ago.

Subsequent to this documentary, Deep Purple did indeed tour with Ronnie Dio and we had a wonderful time.

I would like to point out that Ronnie, being the straightforward, honest man that he is, told me on the first night how thoroughly pissed off he was that his name wasn’t on his first gold record. 

 

What It’s All About

What’s it all about then?  I’m sure you often wonder about that. 

Well so do I.  

There are several possible answers to that rather ambiguous and immense question.  In no particular order, here are a few… love, balance, survival, power, sex, cabbage, passion, knowledge, hors d’ouvres, socks, pressure, jealousy, furniture, speed, money, television, dental hygiene, paper, technology, family, stamp collecting, oil, frozen food, religion, underwear, betrayal, soap, fun, pain, curiosity, sneakers, drugs, art, nostalgia, sport, charity, nosebleeds, toys, duty, alcohol, music, babies, history, curtains…   I could go on but I sense you’re already getting bored.
