So much of touring and recording back in the day was “hurry up and wait.” We spent a lot of time in airport boarding areas and in studio control rooms. I used to carry an art box, full of drawing materials, etc, and I also kept a journal through the first year or so. As the author, I’m taking license to edit out the sappy poetry and am leaving out names of personal friends, but I do want to share a glimpse of what our lives were like (obviously from my viewpoint) in those early Fanny days. I hope you enjoy it!
