   Apparently, not.  I just did a quick check and found that he's
 actually on tour in the southern U.S. right now.  Here's the dates

   Hehe... yeah, I always liked Trower's playing, if not his songwriting
 and choice of lead vocalists.  I believe he's just done a blues album,
 too.  That's going to be another one for The List!   ;-)

    Cheers,
             Martin
