| Tyler Hall played for Craig, playing his Mullen G2. Was he playing a Mullen? |

Adam Schmitt is his name. I've known him through TGP for a few years. He worked a square job into his early 30s, then quit and moved to Nashville about a year ago. Things are going very well for him.

Wasn't me, Brett. That's Adam Schmitt. He followed me on Craig's gig about 6 months ago when I went with Daryle Singletary.
Sorry Brett, I typed this on my phone and didn't catch the typo.

Thanks guys. That was me. A couple of fun facts for anyone who cares - that Sho-Bud is the very first steel guitar I ever bought and the one I learned how to play on. I just had it rebuilt by Jeff Surratt at Show-Pro and it's a straight-up tone machine now.
That particular show I almost ended up missing so many times in the 12 or so hours that preceded it - my flight to NYC was canceled, but I was visiting my folks so I was flying out of Milwaukee, and managed to find a flight from O'Hare to Baltimore, so we snagged the last seat on that, I made it with moments to spare, got to Baltimore, rented the last car they had, and drove it up to NYC, showing up to rehearsal about 5 minutes late on no sleep. Plugged into the NV400 they had there and... nothing. Fortunately the backline company had two Deluxe Reverbs with them, so our guitar player used one and I used the other. Definitely not my first choice for anything except maybe recording, but we made do.
So that was that - playing the song for the first time with a new drummer in a different key through the wrong amp on no sleep. I believe this is called "living the dream" right? 
Anyway. Glad you guys liked it. If I'd known anyone was listening I'd have tried to play it better, haha. |
