1. You are on tour in Italy and France at the moment.



Bill : Yes.

How is the tour?

Bill : Pretty good. The crowds are very good. That's always nice when you see a lot of people coming up to see us. Now at the end if you are talking about the business, talk to somebody else!

Peter : Every night is amazing. It happens every night and it is so wonderful, really. Tonight, you will see.

Bill : That's very clever.

Keith : Stocking Stuffer. The Flesthtones that everybody should have in their stockings, I think.

Peter : That's our christmas album. It came up a few years ago, and we really enjoyed making it. We might do a few songs tonight from the Stocking Stuffer.

AM : Good. There are 11 tracks on it.

Peter : Only eleven, could have been more...

AM : What about this picture?

Peter : Oh my favourite. This is Santa Claus.

Keith : Actually I think it is Super Rock Santa.

AM : Yes, very good Keith.

Peter : It's Super Rock Santa and he is probably telling everyone that he is ready to rock'n'roll, when he comes down the chimney.

Bill : It is also Mr Santa Claus, and you are Mrs Claus now!

AM : Yes I am. On this album, I can show you something, look at this.

Peter : Oui, assieds-toi à côté de moi!

AM : Here is the Champagne of Christmas, and it is one of your song. As I am Mrs Santa Claus, I can give you this gift for Christmas. It's a Christmas party, but a bit early!

Peter : This is wonderful, thank you.

Keith : I am so glad I came to Lyon.

Bill : She is moving on.

Peter : Oh I get it.

Ken : I don't for this one.

Bill : I do. It's Wheel of Talent.

Peter : Which is us.

Keith : How do you know this?

Bill : This is a scramble version of the word talent, although you could probably find some other words in there.

Peter : Comment traduire Wheel of Talent en français ?

AM : La roue du talent ? Les rouages du talent ?

Peter : It does not make any sense.

AM : No. What is it about?

Peter : It is just something that happens you know. We are on stage and just start spinning round.

Keith : What it is? There is so much talent in the Fleshtones that we share it with people. We do it in a revolving manner.

Peter : We spin round.

Keith : Round and round and round. and no matter where you stop, it works.

Peter : You will see. We will demonstrate.

Bill : The audience is also very talented, so they can join in, in the spinning wheel of talent.
