Just going to throw this in because I've got so many old friends playing there...there is Nashville. There are so many amazing pocket drummers in Country Music territory that it's hard for even a good drummer to get a gig in a club. I have many friends that play with big name acts & these guys are PLAYERS...these are a bunch of old Rock'nRollers that went to the dark side. When you think about it, modern Country is nothing but old R'nR with a twang!
Had an audition set-up years ago with Lori Morgan when she was hot on the charts. After talking to my friend Spuddy (her keyboard player) and a few other friends in the 'ville, decided to stay in Alabama...often wonder if I could have cracked the Studio Clan up there...should've, could've, would've.
