He had been in the states before, as he did the light show for the Who for years.
However, when he toured with them, he didn't have the occasion to drive, as they were chauffeured from one venue to another. We had a great time, and it was an amazing experience for this small town Ohio gal to hear some of the personal stories of Townshend, Daltry, and the especially the antics of Keith Moon.
His biggest problems after arriving and renting a car was getting used to "driving on the wrong side of the road"...LOL
His hometown was Luton, and from his description, it sounded very quaint. So that would be my suggestion of a nice place to visit.
