Musik Messe Frankfurt Germany
Isn't this what Rock n' Roll is all about?
Mick, Trev Wilkinson, and "Doc" Pittillo at the Musik Messe in Frankfurt Germany 2002
at the Fret-King booth.
Ever since the Abbey Road album, Many
a Rock 'n' Roll musician has dreamed of walking across the famed road in London. Mick and Sean Michael Radford could not resist.

In the Hard Rock Cafe vault in London, Mick had the chance to peruse lots of legendary
guitars...this one caught his fancy. A 1954 Fender Strat that belonged to Duane Allman. Get this!...serial number 00017.
Legendary Abbey Road Studios
birthplace of many great tracks!
The
crew decided to take the ferry boat from England to Le Port De Calais, France.
One reason was so everyone could get a look at the white Cliffs of Dover. However, by the time all the gear was loaded and
all were aboard, it was too dark to see anything but Mick's hat.
A candid shot of Mick with his Pittillo Custom on the train from
Calais France to Italy. Mick and the guys ended up with an overnight stay in Leon France due to a scheduling
mix up. Actually, the guy at the ticket booth in Calais lied!
Mick and Sean Michael Radford break from the action at the Rimini Music Fair in Italy. This is Italy's
version of the NAMM show.
One of the most beautiful cities in the world...Rome! "Won't be playin' this coliseum
any time soon"...Mick
Naples Italy: Mick and Sean Radford talk with crew while they
wait for their gear to be released from shipping. Apparently this event has a very interesting story behind it. "Doc" Pittillo,
second from the left, was along on this leg of the tour.

Guitar Show 2003.
Mick and Sean Radford on their first stint in England at
the HardRockCafe London 2002.
While Mick was in London he was invited to check out the first Hard Rock Cafe and the
Celebrity vault, housing a rare collection of guitars and memorabilia. A musician named Jimmi James
Mars was the tour guide for the Vault. During his routine he began to ask everyone who they were
and where they were from. When he got to Mick, he discovered he and Mick had both worked with Tommy
Boyce, from the songwriting team Tommy Boyce and Bobby
Hart, tunesmiths for the Monkees and others. They had a jolly good time yakin' about the
day.
Even though the front of Royal Albert Hall (above)
was under construction, there was no way Mick was escaping without this shot.
Mick chastising the help outside a tobacco shop in Covent Gardens
London. Did you know tobacco use is now the #1
preventable cause of death worldwide?
The Royal Residence: Let's just
say the Queen's crib is loaded! Mick and Sean Michael Radford are joined by their personal assistant at the Royal Residence.
Cheers!
Jimi's flying "V"
Serious Voodoo Chile'
Mick with a guitar he says he's only read about....Albert King's "59" Flying V. Mick would like to thank Jimmi James Mars, for he's a jolly good fellow!
Mick and crew take a couple of R & R days in
sunny Venice Italy. More to come...as we can get it!
