In January 1970 I
had a new contract, which gave me the chance to play in one of the most
beautiful village in Switzerland. Located in
"Bern
Oberland County". It was on the top of a rocky mountain, not accessible by cars
as there are no road but only accessible by
cable car. I had the feeling to go to paradise!
This beautiful place is Murren.

The HIGER HORN
In Murren was filmed the first James Bond Movie. This has brought Murren
fame throughout the world
because of is unique location, it's the Piz-Gloria Restaurant which rotate at
10000ft in the Alps, and from where you can see the two beautiful lakes of
(Thun
and Bern) Switzerland.

The HIGER HORN is one of the most dangerous
for mountain climbers. In addition, this rocky mountain has an inner tunnel
with an elevator in it to access the restaurant located at the top of
it. Spectacular!

To access
Murren it was and still two ways to go up-there (Cable Car & Cabin) Here's the view from
the cabin from the first stop station before arriving to Murren. It's a very daunting feeling when the wind
blows between the two rocky mountains which form this valley
like the Grand Canyon in the US.

The Piz-Gloria with it unique view and location, make it the highest
restaurant in Europe if not the world.

The Collection band, which was playing from January to 10th of April
1970 at the "Blumenthal Hotel and Resort". Not only the food and wine was
so good, but also the reception and hospitality of the owner was one of the best I had in my
life

The panorama of this village Murren is like to be in the "Snow
White Story".
In winter when the sun shine on the snow, it look like 1000 diamonds on
the top of it.

Although our time in
Murren was incredible,
I had to go back to reality, which this time brought out our band at the "Western Saloon"in
Basel Switzerland. This place looked like a saloon in Texas in the 1800's, but with a lot of people coming
from all over to listen to good music. I play there the whole month of
May with new musicians, with an incredible German singer/guitar
player, who had a voice like Tom Jones. Also with my friend the ex-keyboarder from The Hit Boy's.
