What's The Word ? Johannesburg !

Yeah I had to borrow that one from Brother Gil Scot Heron.

Bob B on the way to Jo'Burg SA
Met Marion at JFK Friday morning and we embarked on a 13.5 hour flight to JoBurg.
Business Class was lovely....the food was actually quite nice. Had a nice decaf coffee with brown sugar and some warm milk and slept pretty good in spite of sleepless infant, that entertained throughout the flight.

The Rosebank Hotel is quite nice..picked up by Crowne Plaza. Nice lobby area.
Found a mall nearby, walked in with Marion to a CD store and believe it or not, CD's are actually doing quite well. Unfortunately, there were no Bob Baldwin nor Marion
Meadows cd's in the shop...we were both hot! Cured that problem immediately and
provided some copies to the store for sale...before the end of the day, we were told
that those copies were actually almost sold out today, which is a good. Nothing like news markets and new audiences!

Not a bad first day. Stuck with seafood and salad on day one, bottled water
and lemonade. Life is good. Outside of a TV interview, there's one more day off and Monday, we hit the ground running....the musical foreign exchange will be in full effect as we will be rehearsing Monday and Tuesday with Vusi Khumalo's band. He's got the right vibe, so the exchange will be lovely!
