ich habe vor der Show in der Lobby der Lanxess Arena Kim Bullard getroffen und mit ihm einen kleinen Smalltalk gehalten. Ich habe ihm von dem Interview mit Charlie Morgan erzählt und er hat sich sofort für ein Interview bereit erklärt.
Toll..er hat mir vor 1 1/2 jahren auch eins versprohen..ich hab ihm die fragen (nachdem er gesagt hat ich soll sie schicken) schon geschickt, aber es kam nie was zurück..aauch nachdem ich nachgefragt habe meinte er "klar ich schick bald die antworten," aber es kam nie was..hier die fragen, die ich damals geschickt habe..
A lot of fans wanted to know, who opened the doors for you to become a member of the Elton John Band? What were your reactions when you heard that you are gonna be on tour with Elton John?
How has been your first impact with the Elton John Band and Elton himself? Did you feel as “part of the group” right away?
When you came to Moscow to play your first show with Elton, have you been very nervous? Were you able to play all songs properly already, as there was only few time to prepare?
Before you came to the EJ Band, have you ever before played any gigs that were this big?
Obviously you got a lot of your equipment from your predecessor Guy Babylon. Did you change anything in his setup or did you change any sounds in songs? I noticed a slightly different synth-sound on „Crocodile Rock“?
Which are the most difficult/easiest/favourite songs play at concerts. Which song did take you the most time to play it perfectly?

Besides more „friends“ on facebook, what else changed in your life? How does the gig with Elton differ from what you were doing before you got the call.
Do you like Elton and Leon’s new album? What are your favourite songs on this album?

Nigel Olsson told us that on his to-do list for the next years is to make another Elton John record with him and the whole band. Can you imagine contributing keyboards/arrangements to a future Elton John solo record?

How was the Swiss chocolate you got from the Swiss fan club in Freiburg?? And did you really give it to Elton and your band mates or did you eat up all alone? :-)
