"Here's your host of backstage pass radio randy hosie. Hi cindy. welcome to the show. Randy induced. I did so it was going to get me to line. I'm horrible with dates I think it was two thousand eighteen at green hall and green texas. You're opening with michael and kevin. So that's where i yeah company. It's it looks like that is the way it's spelled but it's pronounced green g. r. e. e. gap that day on my face memory. Khaimah lean years ago today so i was right then. Two thousand eighteen is something. I'm i'm like don't forget i don't forget faces. I don't forget names but if you ask me what yesterday's day was i'm gonna lie to you and tell you the to- totally wrong day drive horrible date so my memory of me running outside the great hall interesting so have to. I'm getting a little ahead of myself. But did they. Did they get you to come in through the window on the side of that building. That's usually where the artists enter. Green hall is through a chicken wired window on the side of the building or did you just walk through the front door. When you played there definitely remember walking. Were no and i do not remember coming you the front door and then you remember there were a lot of those yes very very welcome to texas in the summertime right. Yeah i mean yeah well if somebody was smart they would've told you don't even bother doing your hair your makeup because it's going to be a wreck before you even get started. Good shower well. The green hall is famous for the musicians. Entering from would be it would be stage left so it would so. If you're standing on the stage looking out at the audience it would have been to the left. And so there's a window that folds out in it's basically open aired so it's chicken wire and that's where the artist come in because the dance hall is so full of people that the artist you know really can't walk through the crowd to get to the stage so they have them crawl through a window on the side of the stage. So i don't. That's what one of the things that green hall is famous for anyway. We'll we'll talk a little bit about that here in a minute. But i wanted to maybe think melissa for share a bunch of emails back and forth with may trying to get the setup and i'm assuming that she is.

"I think you are referenced as a ground and pound fighter but you had a wrestling background. Did you not have a come through a wrestling background at all. Or was that something that was picked up later on as you got into. Mma picked up later when i got because of victims on a chain that there were typically wrestling based and then you just follow. Your instructors are sure kind of where it started off the ground and pound for sure. Gotcha now. it's kind of interesting. Because you and i are in a lot of ways poured out of the same mole so we were ex engineers for an it consulting firm. We've worked some of the larger manufacturers in the world and then at some point in time we decided that we wanted to go from factor fiction and moving the sales right so so talk to me about a little bit about that transition. Like what drove you to move out of tech into sales while i got into texas. I was really computers. When i was younger too as well so i was a bit of a nerd even though as a competitive athlete but really loved tinkering as well So that got me into the engineering side. I was a consultant for many years. And then after about twenty four years of doing that with a little break for fighting of course between there but you know it was kind of the same thing over and over learned new technology. What's the new features new functionality. you really heads down in these The the wedesday collot. I feel like i'm the account manager sighed get be more broad you get to be more businesslike talk to different type of executives So that was kind of the impetus that maybe moved towards that route. Sure sure and so on the tech side. What would you say was your your area of expertise as it related to tech like. When i go back people say well you were consultant urine engineer. What what was your thing and my thing was citric acid citric guy right. I architect and design citric solutions. I implemented them. I supported them. What do you feel like your forte was and tech right. Did you have one that stuck out that you were just better at than any other. Maybe manufacturer technology has changed over the years. When i first started it was microsoft and sedgwick's we would call them. I worked for a isp's application service providers. I would say that was the precursor to today's cloud. But you know there wasn't the connectivity back down. Oh yes do. Isdn's was you're gonna minding you isd together to get faster through so it never really took off. And then the crash of two thousand one really hurt but microsoft issues where i started off. That was my it consulting years. Then i moved over to be somewhere then. Storage and servers. When i moved over to dell. Emc yeah and then now. I'm in the in the channel. Okay and do you feel like you would have move to sell sooner if you could have like if you had to go back and do it all over again. I think it's great to have the tech background because people like you. And i i. I think that lends some credibility to us that..

"Do solos like nobody. I've ever heard it very much stuck out in my mind to it's like wow that's pretty pre technical playing there. It sounds really good. If i asked the same question of savage what song. What was your song back in the day. What was your favorite song to dubai savage when you guys played live. Probably break away okay. It was that was on. The first record of that was actually written by lance ross. He was he was in brittany for a while and then came over into savage. He was actually the first guitar player. Savage and then michael scott came. Let me get my chronology together right. So yeah he. He came into Savage and then then michael scott but he wrote hero breakway and that was off the ep. Our remember yeah and was. Cut it out a unoriginal yahoo by you guys. That was always one of my favorites formal training on the drums. Yeah the funny part of it is is a just said come back from l. a. Thomason bang bang out already. Done the winter cat thing and was in bang. And it's word. I met the the great greg lemay. He was at one of my shows and he just walked up to me and he goes. Hi i'm craig lane you ever think about taking drum lessons. Here's my car. Give me a call and any will turn out walked away. And i was like man if fucking but you know i thought card and i thought about it for a couple of weeks and i said you know i found out that actually he had he had Todd bobby rock and blas elias. A probably should give this guy call and he he certainly changed my drumming life for sure he he took me to unravel. I was not at all if it hadn't been for him the lot that i'm doing now. That would not be able to do him. For so bobby rock he he was. I think a houston guy right and then left and went and auditioned for the vinnie. Vincent invasion right and landed that big. We were in the hallway together because auditioned for that too. Oh did you. Yeah i went in. I and i knew that it was over. Bobby going in after me because it was There's no way that i was going to win. Something over that guy. He's he's beyond incredible. Joey had a lot of nice things to say about yum yum. Right great guy wonderful. I've carrying guy known him all these years and you know was he. I'm trying to remember. So i was he a drum instructor at h. and h. music here does sound. Oh i didn't. I knew of him. He he would come see savage economy of him. I didn't renew found more about him. After a loss audition you know started doing some research about who who was and what he did and so but i. I don't know as good as he is. Probably you know. I can't see him not teaching. You know all i know. I don't know to what extent that he worked with craig. I'll know that they actually did work together. And they remain Best of friends to this day. Great in it seems like if my memory serves me correctly he might have done some producing with dana strum well. Dana strum was Our producer you. He produced the sweet savage record. Okay and That's actually how. I got the audition for the vinnie. Vincent invasion and then Dana strum was the bass player for the vinnie. Vincent invasion bobby. Got that gig. So that's how they stayed together scout and for the listeners. That are wondering who the hell is. Vinnie vincent right. I was one of the guitarist that was in kiss. Yeah he was a while. I think that they might have been the third replacement i think. Mark saint saint. John hewlett bruce kulich. And then i think vinnie and Tommy something is the new guy. I can't remember no.

"Black oak arkansas. I'm remember so then. Went on from there. But i got to meet. Tommy wants in the rainbow in la. It was really like my besides bottom my biggest heroes so that was a. That was a wonderful shining moment while yesterday. Finally get to meet him so well. The first time that i ever heard of tommy aldridge. He was on tour with ozzy. And mike wow this guy. He's phenomenal drummer. And i'm not a drummer but you know i. I think i know a pretty decent drummer. When i hear one play right but but i think he's floated around with a lot of big names. Was he considered kind of like a hard gun or would you say that he was. Maybe a hired gun session guy that traveled around and latched onto different bands. Look at that way. I don't know if that's the way he may we would want to have himself categorized but has played continuously Ever since i've heard his name and his various bands from you know black oak. Arkansas pat travers japan travers one of my favorite bands of course whitesnake and then the osce thing and i'm not sure exactly who who's playing with right now but They he's playing with somebody and he's he's played with many a listers for sure. So was drums the first instrument of interest to you and was at the only instrument that you were interested in. Because i think a lot you know start out on one thing and then gravitate the something else later on. Was it always drums for you. Well i always loved guitar but it was not really meant for me. I guess the way after the little dabble with me. Anti back in the third grade when i was in the eighth grade when we moved to grand perry texas. My best friend alam lewis. His brother carlos was in a band called wit's end and we used to go watch her all the time. And so me and allen and our other best friend richie moore's We all hung out together and we decided one day. Let's put together a band. You know and reduces says along to play guitar in allen. New is not gonna be as good as his brother was on. The tories will play bass in nozzle. Okay well. i guess. I'll play drums and prime sky. How started and then I guess the sad part is story is my dad had passed away and my mom knew i wanted to play drums so she said you know. Go find a drum set. So i did an interesting. We went to go. Check it out with me and enriching and I was looking at. It is beautiful. It was what i wanted. It was old. Ludwig psychedelic grad. Mcdonnell know why they call. It psychedelic riddick. Red green and blue swirly has really neat looking and the guy said we'll sit down and play. make sure you like it I never really. We'll just sit down to bang on it. So i sat down and hit a couple of times and i just kind of jumped straight into four groove and and ritchie looked amigos me. I didn't know you could actually play this exact. So that's kind of where it started and it kind of took off from there from grand prairie texas and the eighth grade. Is that up around dallas. Yeah you've got dallas irving grand prairie oakington forward. I mean all the mid cities there's teen teen towns around there but it's kind of south west of dallas. Technically okay now. When would you say that you started taken the drums serious. You know everybody starts banging around and make it some racket on then just day because I kept playing accord. Nothing really materialized with me. And allen richie. I'm an eleven to that but it just didn't really gonna take off and some other players throughout high school and mom helped me with my second drum set which was another ludwig and and that A few other players. And and i guess it got serious when i met a bass player named michael mullins at the time. He was living in arlington with his wife. Linda mullins but there from san antonio and he was just an incredible bass player and he kind of took a plane to another level. We actually for the first time put together serious act and we call ourselves britney and we started playing the local clubs in and arlington and dallas and fort worth. And what have you. Yeah while well they they do say that you become a better player when you surround yourself with better players you can kind of pick your game up right because i think a lot of musicians like to stay secluded in a closet or a studio in the house and they never branch out. And it's there's a fear factor. There no doubt right but i think the more you collaborate whether you suck or whether you're good i don't know how you judge musicians i mean i don't think music is a competition myself. But are you you should you should. I mean you should always play with better better players or somebody that helps you. Step your game of court and before again. Trouble of britney being my first band. I've got mentioned the singer. Gary minner keith. Kreider was guitar players. Steve davison was the keyboard player. If i didn't mention the names etendard hunt me downs. Will you've cleared it up then. So how long was britney together Was that a short-lived projector was that. Were there some longevity to it was okay a couple of three years. I think we started when i was nineteen and i believe the sweet savage project started around. Twenty two maybe twenty three years. Also i was in brittany for a couple of okay. A couple of years in Actually the two brothers. Chris and lane from sweet savage kristen lanes sheridan had moved down from columbus ohio and they were looking to put a band together and they came out to see brittany because they wanted my guitar player. Michael scott okay. He was kind of like a stand in kind of the end. Britney on also lance ross to and britney of august shot so they came to see Michael scott and like me to They actually got a two for one. So that's kind of weird started and then we all met together. It of an apartment on greenville avenue in dallas and Lane played a tape of joey. Because joey was still up in columbus ohio. 'cause all you know land chris all those guys from columbus And we said that's the guy and the next thing you know joey's down here and boom there you go. yeah he. He said in his interview that he was rescued by you. Guys from being a hill billion columbus thawra in ohio right so he got here as quick as he could to join join forces with you guys back on back on the drumming piece were you. Were you in band in high school. Did you follow that track at all. Not at all I wish i would have. Because that's one of the biggest mistakes that i ever made was not learning how to read the charts. I mean i can read exercise charts but a could've done more as a career drummer. If i knew how to read didn't really interest me back in those days when you talk in the eighties it was like okay. Let's just be a big rock star. Sure reading music is for chumps. You know that just idiot mentality. i wish it would've. It would've been different. And you know you're not the first one that has said that i've done a couple interviews and in the first interview i did you know i was a guy. Vocalist kinda That why did the theory thing all through school. So i had a really good foundation in music and one of my guests had mentioned that you know. He probably regrets that the most because he really didn't have any guidance or somebody to push him to the choir to the ban to get that musical background. So that's one of the things that he regrets much like yourself. And i'm i'm i was educated just recently in an interview. I interviewed geigy. Also from zebra. And you know. He's teaching in the new orleans area now and Like i didn't know there was music to read for the drums right just i. I guess i was naive. That it's you just learned patterns on the drums right even be a musician. I didn't realize that you could actually read music for drums..

Make sure you liked subscribe and turn alerts on for this and all upcoming podcasts. And now here's your host a backstage pass radio randy hosie randy. How are you versi man. Good to see you. Thanks for coming in a chat with me today. I think the last time that we probably ran into each other was at one of my romero shows. Probably pre cova. It's probably been a while. Yeah yes oh there and again romero's my favorite restaurants still. You know they're all the time. So how surprised to see you. It seems like we eat there three or four nights a week. Sometimes it's i don't understand. How's the family doing post cova Fine the cova didn't really affect my work too much which was fantastic family wise. Nobody that i know in my family has contracted coveted some are getting vaccinated some or not you know but everything's been been wonderful for us. I mean i know it's been horrible for a lot of people. We are one of the few The lucky ones. Yeah for sure. I think there was only i think my daughter was the only one in the immediate family to get actually diagnosed with kobe. But she's also a nurse at a major hospital here in town that was working in the cove unit so it was inevitable that she might contract it from being in the same place with a lot of people that already had the the virus. Yeah we had. We had a few people at my work. That contract and Actually my closest co worker that rides with being a truck every day he got it and i can't believe i didn't laos Pretty amazing but Like i said all in all everything's been fine. That's good now. Did it slow you down work. Wise did you guys fill an impact where you're working like with the the work load. Did it slow down a little bit. During covert march and that was it We had a great january february at It kind of slowed things down just because nobody knew what was going on and what to expect. Then we were deemed essential workers somehow being in surveying and construction of you so we picked dry backup having missed a beat on on course to have a really great year. So that's good that's great. I know that in my line of work there was some impact there for sure but oil and gas you know oil was down in the shitter for awhile and that you know a lot of my customers are wall and gas customer so i felt a little bit of the wrath of it but so you and i are basically all kinds of neighbors like. We're not neighbors in the same neighborhood. But we live in the same area in the cyprus area and we were talking before the show that you guys were down off highway six before. Now you're out in cyprus proper How long have you been out in this area now. On november of last year moved out there I sold my house. Actually we moved to cybersea november. And i didn't sell my house until february so But we actually moved in november. So yup i love it. I mean the reminds me a lot of mississippi pine trees for sure like it. Well that's a great segue. So let's let's let's set the listeners straight because you kind of set me straight before we Before we went on and started recording you were not born in mississippi but the whole your whole family was from. Mississippi is is that right. Every single aunt uncle cousin Mom and dad brothers sisters. Everybody was born in mississippi. At from me and i was on the the tail end of my fathers air force career and he happened to be stationed in salina kansas on air force base. And that's where. I was born so interesting. A missed out so you grew. Would you say that. Was kansas where you grew up than the no. No i was only there about a year and a half okay. Then we went to miami beach. Florida then to albany new york and then finally when i was in the third grade moved to pearl mississippi and That's that's basically my from there till the eighth grade and again we had talked about this before is that's where we met. Time tie taber. And i lived three houses away from each other so that kind of connected us many years down the road. Sure show. we'll get to that some. Yeah for sure. My mom was born in vicksburg. So she's a she's a mississippi girl. Family either select mississippi. It's a beautiful place. And like i said. Even though we moved out later on in life. I mean my mom and my brothers still live there for quite some time before everybody decided to move the texas and and i would visit frequently at least once a year to go back to see everybody so yeah now growing up as a kid. At what age did you get interested in music or even more so learning musical instrument you know. I think we all start here music at a very young age right but some never pick up. Won't the be an artist or a rub instrumentalists like do you remember that far back like when you really got interested in. I wanna be this or that. Yeah living around the corner from tie his father and his brother and tie himself. They were in a bluegrass band. So i became introduced to actual musicians for the first time through that relationship with tying his family and My mom and dad got together and bought me this crappy little sears or i think actually montgomery ward drums at that die proceeded to beat holes in immediately. But you know ties is talked about this before but We used to play in his front yard discount. A banging around and there was a ban That was a right across the street. He lived in bermuda circle and Tournament can't remember the name of the band. They were in but two of the musicians. Mickey pogue and Think i don't know if. Tommy alters isn't obama tommy aldridge was from pearl but nonetheless they would come out of their rehearsal room and drive past us and laugh at us and stuff so it was gonna so. Is this the same. Tommy aldridge from ozzy osbourne his He grew up in rural. That's interesting i. I had somebody the other day. Maybe it was a co worker. That said something about. Does he live and high meadow ranch. Is he local here in houston. Now i don't know All i know is that and i say i don't want to say that. He grew up in pearl but his family lives in parole for a time. Okay and after at some.

Pass radio it's an honor man. I appreciate it so as a multi instrumentalist. When did you get into. And what was the instrument that you picked up i. i can actually remember it pretty clearly. You know when you think back about your path. He see things in images in i do at least in snapshots and i can see snapshot of the on my six birthday walking outside in the backyard and sitting on picnic bench with this cardboard. We're box. It was it was kind of a weird dyke rama's shape or whatever. I opened it up and there was my first classical acoustic guitar. I think by folks paid about twenty bucks for it and time which is probably about two or three hundred bucks now and you know it was a big important thing and i was like okay..

"They were so talented. And it didn't matter back in the thirties. Exactly so yeah you and there were probably some people that were like a rare articles by christopher cross. You know he was remember. That's how you won a grammy. He was at whatever year that was that was it san antonio boy and he always talks about how he just. It was right before the visual era. And he just isn't a. I mean he's just a dude as a good looking guys abnormal looking guys. He's fingers you're out of his head but he i mean and these are his words. I'm not saying but he said he was just a little. That was just that era and then you had that magical weird time where it all worked like a youtube good looking people. The police Duran duran i mean you can say what you want about duran but those guys took their that was. They were serious about that. Know so it all worked kinda worked together but that was when the visual you know again. The that's where you're saying like when we grew up it was not the visual part of it was something but it wasn't all you now. You can almost kind of almost always think about that for sure. You almost can't separate it at all and you'd always hear about i remember. I gave a great example. We went and saw the cars. This was like the candy. Oh album came out and we love the cars and these are like all musician buddies who use other great so we go see him in austin and we had no idea they were like a chick ban they were like benjamin order like the most beautiful creature ever said and these women are just like. We didn't know at all really. This is the have that appeal. We think about that. You know so it wasn't that we were disappointing. But you're just like okay. I guess right but it's true. I mean it's just a and everybody makes it's about the i dunno performance or it's about sincerity. You look like a guy like rick springfield you think of being more about image than music right man they. Nobody's more serious about music than rick springfield he. He's he lives and dies. Songwriting you he just pretty man. He's a rockstar. Have you ever go see rich. Springfield live even if you're not a fan but it's on a great show. God you guys should be. I think the media has taken it. I mean you look at american idol and the voice. you know. there's some fantastic singers that are like you said. Have a face for radio but when i think when these people are signing talent you have to have the appeal to. I think that's part of it is part of the marketing of the music. And here. here's a crazy thing. Is i see a lot of The the artists that i follow on instagram specifically and some of the female artists. Every picture you see on post on instagram is almost like it's like a glamour shot and how about how about singing a song or your musician. So and so music. How about singing a song and showing us your talent. I don't yeah you you're beautiful and everything but it's like that has preceded the whole talent thing. I'm beautiful but oh i play a little guitar too ended tricky. I mean it's again. I don't i don't know i mean everything's just different. You know music in general consume so differently than it used to be. Yes that was. That's the thing that. I think being older that i just i would never pretend to be some kind of historian like a kept track of it. But i've seen it. I actually have played music since there was nothing like that. I mean i remember the first time i saw four track recorder. You know up until now was actually create an album with no one. So i've seen i've been in. I've lived in an interesting transitional time and has kinda done it the whole time. A lot of people will either adapt or die or just quit doing it. Because it's not the way they want to do it so they say i wanna do it anymore. Yes or or some people adapt. They don't really get good at it until they adapt like i don't know how to say this but like i have friends that were not that are like in production now and they really kept up with the technology and now they have jobs and they're doing stuff but they might not have the best year they just knew exactly to run the machine. The best you know guys didn't talk real quick to the listeners about bands that were pre wrapped ranch where what can't do in pre pre right ranch and i know you are with ranch a long time but what happened was it was every. I think everybody has a weird. They think their stories weird. But i i play in the emotions which was a fantastic group like fifteen and sixteen because those guys were all like twenty. I'd been in like high school band. And when i and the where the way that's relevant. I mean like i'd been in groups of people trying to create music. I've been in jazz ban stuff like that. So the first rule band. I was in was a bunch of big country. Boys from shire. Do don't do that. And i think when you're fifteen or sixteen that's what you need. You need somebody kind of telling you know man. Don't you know it's like the old a lot of my most respected musicians. I've ever play with kind of said the same thing. And when i say respected i mean guys that were way. More talented than me and had a lot more complex than they. They would all a few of them have said to me. My one of my best. My best friend. David simpson when we we grew up playing together and he played piano and i play guitar and i learned a lot every pretty much everything i knew about music up until we quit working together all from david and are just from having a communicate with them but he was a great musician and he could play anything but he would say something like no. It's not can you play it. It's should you play. Yes and i think. I learned not that i always knew what the play. I would never pretend that i ever learned that lesson but i just was all. I was from a very early age. Like the i bands our was in our in. I was in those guys were they were. They didn't let you just do whatever you want it. You know and i think you kind of need that when you say maybe not everybody but i already kind of jammed already kind of gotten that out of my system that you know just doing. I'm gonna just do what. I wanna do right at a very early age kind of gotten past that yes and i kinda immediately had already thinking in that one guy playing something awesome or like when you're talking about like the voice or american idol. You see one person doing something in the they've spent a million hours and they're really really good at it and it's impressive. There's no doubt about it. But i was always more impressed. You know by everyone. Doing you know like a band like us. Because it's rarer to this day it's rare you go see a band and you know i've said this and i don't know i'm probably not the first person to say but five guys all playing the same song as an that's doesn't mean it's a ban and even when i was in for thirty years i like we'd all be on the same page and just it just couldn't have been better four guys or even five and then a month later it was just horrible. It's not even a lot of it's just timing. You know and people's attitudes at the time but so before range they're really. I kinda had quit. I really wasn't doing it at all. And then when that started back up the philosophy was this. I don't know if this is a good win or not but was no plan. B like these. I already had a job. And i was doing something. So the guys that wanted to start this ban. We're doing anything. So i was like okay. I'm going to quit what i'm doing. I'm gonna quit working with my dad. I'm gonna give all this up. That i know is money in my bank account to do this. So everyone's gotta do it for a living. At least we'll have that in common. Yeah you know that if we don't all agree on everything we at least all have to make a living doing this some common. No plan b if you have a plan b. go do plan b. Yeah and in my life and that was one of the advantages to get into it. I wasn't a kid. That point a kid but i was my late twenties so i kind of approach it'll differently. I didn't it was like it's not gonna fail. It's just not yup. I i i've done things long enough and done enough research and gone and seen other bands ago. Okay i know what works what doesn't work and the one thing i learned or not that i learned but i i noticed right away was you can't create something that's not there and what i mean by that like like you had your ford especially when it's a small band like four or five guys. They're going to do what they do And they're gonna all have strengths and weaknesses. Got a play to those. Yeah you can't hire like if your keyboard player leaves. You can't fill that guy's roles exactly. It was correct so we would always adapt like every time we would lose a member or change it. Would you know what does that guy do. You know exactly what he does and whatever he does good. That's what we're gonna do. Well ranch formed by think back and eighty nine. Is that correct. And what did the original lineup look like for it was drums bass guitar and keywords in Everybody's saying for guys. You know like. I said were in victoria so we would travel. You know we get a gigging corpus. We get in austin so we had a lot of places to choose from. Yeah and it was a different again. I'll say this a lot. It was just things were different than there. Were probably more fulltime. I want to say fulltime bands. There were there. Were more bands back then without a doubt because more people just went out to see bands like you could go up and down the yon- sixteen austin do thousands of people out every night of the week. Not just the weekends. I mean you. Probably inserted. Sunday at maggie maze. And there'd be four hundred people so there was a mechanism to keep those bands working. Yup you know. How would you say that the set list. The song choices changed when i think the original singer was mark is that it was me and malcolm our original. While it was the three of us was pretty even look at when mark russell joined that was a fifth guy okay and he and he became more of a lead singer just because we kinda felt like we he was a he played guitar too but we kind of had felt like we needed that like we needed a more of a focus in just something to sing lead. Yeah that's kind of the way it happened but really with mark on a personally. I mean i wanted mark in the ban because he was just so serious about it. Yeah i mean he was serious and he still is. He's one of those guys that i knew that. I don't bands are tricky. I mean they're like any other relationship. They're they're very very complicated. But i've always felt like if you had at least have two guys. They're really really on the same page. Yeah you can. You can drive the drive. The ship that way. Well i was just curious. Like 'cause i remember when mark was with the band. If my memory serves me correctly there was quite a bit of things. Like sticks. And i remember rush. Yeah and and then he left and it went four piece. I think yeah and then some of those songs fell out. And i'm assuming i mean. Of course you have to adapt to what the the lead vocalist is capable of being right. They can't pull off every artist golota in that particular case We're doing. we're doing originals. Into so we were thinking in along those lines but also you know everything kind of runs. Its course like it sounds funny but there was a time whenever mark was in the band when that kind of music like now i have abandoned some seventies rock man. That's all we plays that kind of stuff but at the time you know there weren't a lot of bands at did that and that's kind of why we wanted. We thought you know what we like. Some of our favorite music we wanna play journey and russian and stuff so we kind of got him. In the band do that and he became. It wasn't a novelty but we did pretty well if the band was suited to doing that kind of stuff you know people really liked it. We did it and we were playing a lot so when he left in some of those songs. Kinda got retired and this through. Nobody's planning this is just highness happen. We had to learn a lot of new songs and we had a lot of learning more current sauces. We play anything current for a while so we were learning like blink one eighty two and all of a sudden that was when it was a big deal will. The reaction was huge to that because all of a sudden they're all my god i'm people are not they're never going to tell you they don't like what you're going to do with playing that song but when we did quit they're all my god. I'm so playing that now and it's just so much better. It wasn't better. No it's just different different. Yeah and So yeah we just kind of had again because we had to adapt to yes. I think Later on scott holding join our band and he was a like a kind of a. He's a great singer but he could sing like that kind of he added that to kinda high screaming voice. He could do a lot of stuff. We can do audio slave stuff like that and that's when it was a big deal so we adapted and we started doing stuff you just have to have to win and i think that that's a great segue into walking into the now with current bands you know. Let's talk about those so you have shotgun road you have the still newman do. Oh you have Mr wonderful you have diamond jack which happens to be my favorite of all of them. I just maybe. I'm just a seventies kind of guy that music just resonates with me. Diamond jackson kelly your favorite. Because i do the least well. You heard it first ladies and gentlemen all you listeners. I didn't want to say it but has confirmed the obvious. And i'm just sexy and that s my only purpose every ban has fabrio right. Yeah i think the brel brett brett was it and rat ranch while right and know what happened was again. Those are bands. That kinda they will like. Stacy already had his theory. Won't stacey stills. he's the best man and that was a relationship. That really helped me when i got out orange because he had his vision for his country ban which was classic country. It's like eighty nineties country and that's just as you know what he's really into and we were finding that it was it worked. You know he was right. I mean people like that kind of music. We ended up and with that with our country band. You know there's a lot of how i put this. There's bans is still kind of bill. Say their country band. They'll say us and they still want to try to be like a variety being. They still kind of want to be everything to everybody. Get away from it and that's okay. I'm not. I'm not look. It's if it works for them. I'm not gonna say they're anybody's doing anything wrong. There's no one way to do it but for us. We kinda san thought about it and we're lying you know we like to rock songs and it's all country you know and what we found again. No one's going to come up to you and man you guys suck it when we get any kind of complimentary one of the ones that we get. A lot is over so glad. 'cause y'all just do deaths which do do country right. We're playing in a country bar it's like actual guy can play the wobble. The dj complained that stuff. That's what for that's the point is and i think people kind of took to that and nowadays everything's so pigeonholed. I mean the tribute band thing. People kinda wanna know what they're going to get and i think that's why tribute bands are such a big deal right now. So variety bands are just. You know it's just not like it used to be you know. Play everything like what was cool about that and it was a band of its era. The thing that we did in a rare ranch where we'd probably we did anything right was we didn't man. You never knew what the hell when we play anything. Yeah and that was cool because because it really opened up we.
