We flew up to Bremen in north Germany for a TV show. Musik Laden was the largest pop show in the world, going out to all Germany and parts of surrounding countries. The studio is arranged just like a music club with posters of Marx, Dietrich, etc on the painted walls. There’s a bar and tables and chairs for 150 kids so the cameras seem out of place, not the crowd.

The stage was quite small and had no barriers but the Germans said there would be no problems. David had put together a short show and we filed out between the scenery and the potted palms to applause from the 150.

They were right about “no problems” - our only problem was adjusting to such a small and self-possessed audience. One girl, who was close enough to reach out and touch David’s leg, sat with her back to the stage for the entire performance. Eat your hearts out Bowie fanatics! It was a good show, though.

Next day at the airport we couldn’t believe our eyes - the plane was actually square! It was like a large bus with wings and propeller engines. David and Coco were worried about this quaint little monster but I was pleased with anything which broke the jet-setting monotony. We took off for Copenhagen and had a beautiful flight at 10,000 feet with a clear view of little farms and tractors, Dinky cars in Hamburg and ships in the docks. Then we sailed over the gorgeous blue of the Baltic and touched down beside the narrow strip of water separating Denmark from Sweden.
