~ to relax and pursue their own interests
~ with the rare exception
~ of a mid-month gig in Paris
~ they had some time to themselves
~ David ~ together with Jason on electric bass
~ continued his lifelong passion for rock 'n' roll
~ performing often ~ over the past few weeks
~ but~ for the most part ~ it was a month to kick back
~ and be entertained ~ for a change
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Jason took the opportunity to check out AVATAR

~ David prefers to relax ~ with a six-string in his hand
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Manuel also enjoyed his time off
~ he compared the return ~ going back on the road
~ to George Harrison's famous lament ~ when he
~ left the warm, supportive, musical companionship
~ of Woodstock ~ in November 1968
~ and returned ~ to the cold, drafty, tense January 1969
~ film and recording sessions ~ in Twickenham studio
~ for the notorious ~ but superb ~ "Let It Be"
~
~
~ Didi got away for a few days
~ but ~ spent most of his January
