The baby boomer band is about the journey back to being a kid again. There is a line in the song "Little Red Bus" that goes like this:

"So gas me up for a ride to the shore. Gilligan’s coming back again for a 3 hour tour."

Who didn’t love Gilligan and his playfulness? The Little Red Bus is us traveling down the roads of our lives and what a hell of a ride. These songs were written over the last 23 years from my own journey in my own Little Red Bus. I believe none of us wants to go softly into the night and we all want to light up our lives with something passionate to do. The baby boomer band is about a rekindling of that passion. This Wheel’s on Fire and Rolling down the road and coming to a theatre near you!

So I’m off in my Little Red Bus – more choices and stuff to do. Thank you Gilligan.

To all those who have touched my life – past or present, I am so grateful. To my partner, Gabriele, thanks for all you have done including the incredible design on the Little Red Bus CD drawn from the spark of your innocence. I love you. To my children, their spouses and my grandchildren, I love you all.
