And you're dropping in the middle of this thing.

Oh.

So you got that.

Going back and listening to some of your guys' music for the first time in a hot minute, I was struck there was more country influence there than I remembered.

Yeah.

Because I always remember it as being a hard-charging band that had the ballad side, and it was like the two sides of REO.

In my mind as a kid, it had been hardened by all the road work, and hence the live albums did well in Chicago and stuff like that.

But listening today, I was like, wow, there's a lot more country in here than I remember.

I don't remember that influence at all, but when you say it, I'm like, oh, yeah.

Go, please.

No, go ahead.

So you're dropped into this thing, and are you guys doing that thing where it's like you go out for three weeks, and you're opening for so-and-so, and are you doing that?

I don't know, but in my mind, they call them package tours, because I've talked to Geddy Lee from Rush.

It'd be like they would get a call.

They would go to sit in a town for somewhere and sit for a week, and they'd be at a holiday, and they'd get a call.

Okay, now you're going on tour with Blue Oyster Cult and so-and-so, and you just jump, and the next thing you know, you're on a tour for three weeks, and that tour ends.

Yeah.

So you're doing that thing?

That's how it was.

Can you give me some of the bands that you were sort of in that loop with?
