We leave LA – which seams almost impossible because it takes hours just to get out of this city! - and head east to Joshua Tree where we stay at the Joshua tree inn. I am immediately falling in love with this place.
“the birds” own gram parsens, composer of a many legendary rock song, checked out for good here in room number 8. in the middle of the sandy court yard there is a little shrine in his honor – candles, guitar, jack daniels bottle…
U2 as well has written their songs for their album "joshua tree" at the Inn.
Joshua tree inn has a big swimming pool and we all hopp in before we take our gear to the beatnik café. Aah!
Driving up and down the street we hand flyers to every person alive in little Joshua tree.
And what an evening! The audience consists of a famous alpinist, a Disney composer and many more interesting fellows. Joshua tree people are the best and we so much enjoy our concert at the beatnik café!
Around midnight we drive to the Joshua tree national park and gaze at the moonlike landscape, the enormous rocks that seem to be sleeping giants… and it’s a full moon.

we have a long ride ahead of us back to tuscon.
Shortly before 6pm we rush by rafaela’s and orlando’s house to shower and then run to enoteca to give our last concert.
Word got around that we are back and the swiss community shows us their love and support.
Fidiri fidirallala!

everything has to end… and so does our wild n west tour!
A last BBQ at franzes house. Him and his family have invited us to celebrate and enjoy the sunset from their roof in the middle of the desert… but soon we have a flight to catch…
