I'm One Of A Dying Breed Who Goes Out And Tours All The Time. Labels Don't Spend The Money To Send People Out To Play Before They Become Famous, But We Did Do That So The Fans We Have Are Word Of Mouth Fans Who Have Been Travelling Around With Us For Years, And They Buy The Albums, But They Are Also The Ones Who Go Out And Get The Bootlegs.

When I Moved Here Pretty Early On Vince Gill Started Calling Me To Do Guitar Pulls, And I Thought, Gosh, This Is Just Like Heaven On Earth Down Here.
