Dudley, England
Cancelled
It was a bit chilly in Dudley when I woke up this morning. Evidently, Marcus at Surridge Sport (across the street from the venue) realized, as soon as I walked through his doors, that I was not accustom to such weather. And, although they had no beanie caps on sale, he found a Rushall Olympic Football Club cap and gave it to me for free. Thanks Marcus, it was just what I needed for my tour of the Dudley Castle.
This castle was the real deal, an authentic medieval castle just a block away from the bus. 
Compared to Nottingham, which was styled in an Italian villa architecture, Dudley Castle gave me the feel that I was in Old England. 
Poor Jeff. The dude woke up this morning “Sick as a Dog,” to quote Aerosmith. Joe took him to the local hospital in Dudley to get a doctor’s evaluation, and some medication. Unfortunately, doctor’s orders force the band to cancel the show. Jeff is ordered bed rest. Still the Dudley fans come to bus and Jeff signs a few autographs, until we pull him back on the bus. He really aims to please the fans, sick or not. But he was hacking up a storm and needed to rest. Our apologies to the Dudley fans, but we know you understand.
Prior to leaving, Brian and I had a chance to have lunch together at a local pub. Shepard's Pie, of course!! We are getting along so well, that he and I start planning future vacations. He and his wife, Monique, are great to hang with, so I'm ready to buy my tickets.
