Hi Janice, I too was onboard during the 1978 Scandinavian cruise. In fact I was onboard for a total of almost eight months that year. I played the red piano in the cocktail lounge as you headed in and out of the restaurants and also in the Q4 nightclub before a group called Gina and the Mario3 came on.
Boy some of the stories. Spending a night with Chins Soo the casino manager and the casino girls and Rock Hudson drinking a lot of Scotch on one ofthe transatlantics. Meeting an American girl whom I wouldn't be in touch with for another six years and we got married and had two children. Divorced now but we are friends.
In Bergen being amazed at the live fish in the market. My first visit to the States was sailing up the Hudson into New York and now here I am living in Connecticut which is my home now and all because of that contract to play onboard the QE2.
Hello Grant, what a story you have to tell! Welcome aboard the QE2Story Forum.
Looking forward very much to reading more about your time on board. Like Janice, you had the chance to know QE2 at a time when many of us would have loved to have known her.
What was it like to be a pianist on QE2 at that time?
Did you ever get back on board after 1978, or see QE2 again at all?
