Hey Russ!!
This is a local production (non-equity gig) and they are trying to save money, thus the combining of the roles. I'm sure there will be some creative blocking where I gotta play Stringmaster and do my lines at the same time.
I remember seeing you on the Patsy show years ago!
thanks,
Drew |

Olaf is correct. During the Spring of 2005 I was in a production of "Lost Highway" in the role of Burrhead, but I played steel (Stringmaster) predominantly. I also played blues-style dobro ("This Is the Way I Do) and standard guitar ("Way Downtown") one one tune each.
We also, for political and budgetary reasons, had a cut-down cast, and I understand that didn't sit too well with the production company that licenses the play to local theatres.
