May fun!!!!!

May 28, 2005

It is so funny to learn of people’s perceptions of the touring musician. Most think that we are nomads that never make it home. I actually have my cake and eat it too because I am in Nashville recording and doing local gigs and showcases Sun-Wed (sometimes Thursday) and out playing live on Friday and Saturday. This is how country acts tour and it works out perfectly for me!!!!! I have ben playing lots of unplugged “radio shows” with Jason Aldean and my ‘DT’ rhythm section as well as full-blown rocking shows. The fourth position in the band has been filled recently by Jason Faucett (Aaron Lines), Roger Nichols(Dreaming in English) and Scotty Huff (Keith Urban). These guys are all totally cool and fit it with the band perfectly. The best thing about being trapped on a 40 foot tube with a bunch of dudes is the bonding and comraderie. Musicians are unique individuals and these guys all have their quirks and sick sense of humors. Fun stuff!!!! I have been really counting my blessings recently because I am always working with killer musicians and down to earth people who have a mutual respect for each other. It gets no better! Big thanks to all of the players, producers and writers that have been embracing my talent. I appreciate it and I will never let you down!!!!!!!!!!! When you are traveling, always request a stay at the Hampton Inn. What a great chain-hot breakfast, wireless net all over the hotel, gym, USA today, etc…..Very cool chain…Wake up smiling and have fun…See ya soon,

Rich
