Don't think you have to worry Giovanni, I think it's all over the place,
but thanks for the confirmation!
You're too funny!

Hi gang....I can tell it's definitely true and due to all these
talkings, I can now say something.
They will rehearse (or jamming) for some time, that's what Stewart told
me exactly some weeks ago; I'm sure the news was not intended to be out
this way, but anyway, it's out...
NO words about the recordings of new stuff, mainly playing and jamming
together.
That's all I can say by now.
Giovanni

Ps.: don't spread this message around, this is for us all.

Yes.Miles' mouth - exactly. Though I'm not really sure about the timing
of Stewart's travels vs. when rehearsals are/might be happening in
Vancouver. The Billboard article seemed to suggest they "will" be
rehearsing in Vancouver (i.e. at some point in the future) - maybe they
are not there now, but will be shortly.

I'd say Bingo on all accounts, Bruce. The whole England thing came out
of Miles' mouth, didn't it?

Hmm.interesting...I thought Stewart was off to England at the
moment..who knows?? Also, Vancouver? Why Vancouver, of all places
(aside from it being in a stunningly beautiful part of the world)?
Maybe rehearsals for the Grammys - also on the west coast?
