"Lonnie was my first 'big time' touring band. I thought it was going to be limos and Lear Jets, but turned out to be hard knocks and dirty socks. Got to meet a lot of great players."

"With Duke, I got schooled big time on this one! Toured everywhere with him, he is a great guy to work for. We are still great friends today. Duke has since been a member of Tom Waits and Bob Dylan's band."

"This was my first arena band. Hank's band, the 'Bama Band,' were great guys to hang and play with. Had a lot of laughs with these guys. Miss them all."

"Top notch tour organization, worked a lot, and learned that when someone says 'We love you brother, you're part of the family' it's time to call your lawyer!"
