Huge Thank You going out today to Nashville legend Scotty Simpson (Tanya Tucker, Pam Tillis, Travis Tritt, Oak Ridge Boys)...
I recently attended the Oak Ridge Boys Shine The Light Christmas Tour, and Scotty gave me an autographed CD of his latest: The Spice Of Life. I played this record on the way home from Chicago, and three more times after that. It is a phenomenal record, and struck me as a cross-over in styles with Country & Pop being the dominant styles.
Add in the fact that Nashville superstars Eddie Bayers Jr., and David Northrup both used their Beier 1.5 Steel--4 x 15' on this, and Grammy Award winning Mark Capps engineered, recorded and mixed this album....It was certainly a full-circle musical experience for me.
I also got to meet Austin Curcuroto who is behind the kit for the Oak Ridge Boys, and landed the seat a year ago over almost several hundred candidates. After seeing him play, it is easy to see why he was chosen. Masterful drummer, and all around awesome person. Thank You Austin for taking time out, and for everything.
Merry Christmas to all of you and your families, and Thank You Again!
