As a fan, I wish every artist, who I love and admire would come more often to Europe.
As a musician myself, I know how exhausting a longer tour or even some longer gigs in a row could be, especially when you have to give all the energy you have night by night.
Thanks Ann for comin in and letting us know.
Hopefully Robben will get back his energy soon

Ive met Robben a few times and was impressed what a gentleman he was actually...of course I wasnt approaching him expecting photos.deep discussion,answers to questions,whatever...and he likely sensed that.
I found him both very kind and relatively approachable for a busy performer.

in the famous words of the evil genius DR. EVIL; "this is rigoddamndiciulous". robben ford doesnt owe me anything. i love the man's music....plain and simple. yes, i do hope that when and if I ever meet him that he comes across as a good dude....that would be great.

but i fell in love with his music without having any kind of an idea of what kind of person he would be if i met him.....yes, i know the argument can be made that "we support him and others" and "its the least they could do for their fans" etc.....

but for me i would be more upset paying for a concert ticket and he "phone in" a performance and not give it all he had for the paying audience.....which based on my experience is never a problem for robben.....to me that's the most important thing......not his attitude during a chance meeting backstage or at the bus.
