You are all so spectacularly creative! Now I'm even more nervous that ever about a simple box of chocolates and a long stem rose - you've set the creative bar too high! I am so glad forum members are making this experience so memorable and truly a once in a lifetime experience - for you, musicians, monkeys and torn-off blouses alike! Keep up all this fun! Less than a week to go - I can hardly wait!

Soundcheck at Coachella and I am desperately seeking Roberta Glass...
The Monkey

Waiting for Leonard at Coachella.
The Monkey

Hi Little Monkey,

Wow, lots of people to see Leonard (and everyone else of course)! What a view from the stage....all the people, the palm trees and the desert mountains in the distance. You are SO lucky!

It was wonderful to see you in 2 photos! But, I must advise you to be very careful....Roberta is a much older woman. Next thing we'd see you in a black leather jacket.....

You be good and hope you remembered to use your sunscreen!

Hugs to you Fred,
Diana

I think that monkey is on something its eyes are glazed and it has a perpetual grin on its face.

Ha! Paula.

If I were in such close proximity to such music/people every day - I'd have glazed eyes and a perpetual grin too!

According to the image properties, the San Diego picture and one of the Coachella pictures were taken with an iPhone. The other Coachella picture and the Oakland picture were taken with a Nikon CoolPix 5100.

Thank you SO much to you great-sports people either in the band or in proximity to them... though I suspect you are a couple of the former... to seize and run with this and create your ongoing travelogue, documenting what you see, through what our dear Monkey [now named Fred?] is seeing. We are so privileged to have a group of people, people who play serious music, so willing to engage with us like this. You've gotta be the kewlest in the buziness! Thanks for taking the time and giving us all this fun... and our monkey's eye view of your time on the road

[Yeah, Paula. Stoned little bugger, isn't he ?]

Fred - you cheeky devil you. What in the world would you do with Roberta or anyone else? Keep practicing your violin and Roberta will come to you!

Loving regards,
Mary

You're right Paula...................He's ON tour with Leonard and the band.
I think I'd be the same if it was me.
Keep on rockin Fred.

INikon CoolPix is a decent camera, it could be the person who takes care of photo-documenting the tour, and the hand on the San Diego photo could as well be LC himself: the watch on his hand on Coachella photos looks very similar to that on the San Diego photo hand.
ps.
I take it back, the bracelet looks very different.

Hi Mirka,

What a little mystery! I've said before that part of me doesn't really want to know.......until Red Rocks. Then whoever it is better make an appearance.... Or else make sure "Fred" has everything he needs to enter Europe.

Personally, I think it may be Joey. I'm so impressed with his iPhone photos. But....it could be Dino...Rafael...or even a crew member. Whoever it may be, it's delightful...and fun! I was there when "Fred" was placed on stage and have a special feeling for the little guy. It was one of those "moments" that doesn't happen often. Oakland, with Esther's blouse, was another! But heck...this little monkey is super cute, even though certain individuals may think he looks a tad stoned. However, I will stick up for him and say he is completely clean! Of course, hopefully no one on the tour will lead him astray!

Diana

High on life, that little stoner .

the look of some of the people in the Coachella crowd is something like "Is that person taking a picture of us with that monkey?" ha!

I love the many adventures of this little rascal, he seems to be enjoying the tour life!Hope to see you in Detroit little monkey friend.
