This is weird, dude.

So here you are diving into it.

You're like, this is what I want to do.

I've decided now.

I'm going to play music.

This is my future.

And I'm going to live right here in Kentucky and make that dream happen with a 14-hour commute.

How did you get that gig?

Now I'm saying, why couldn't you do the tour?

Couldn't leave the state?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Was that your first chance to go on tour?

We'll talk about that dude.

For those of you listening to this that don't understand what he just said,

um you guys with us a long time you know i've been playing drums since i was a kid and i'll put it this way when i was playing with some dudes here several years ago our little our little garage band we had and then they started wanting to play out in bars this is what i told them i don't care what you guys get for money i don't need one nickel of it but you need to make enough that somebody comes to my house and carries my drums to this place sets them up and brings them back respect other than that i'm out and then they found somebody else so

But that's how much I did not want to carry trucks around.

I'm guessing you probably had Stage Customs if they were Yamahas.

Tour Customs, okay, cool.

I'm trying to think of the Yamahas that I had back in, I don't remember the name of them.

They were not Stage Customs.
