| Hey I am from SCC and I was checkin out the webpage. How did you guys alll meet and start playing
music together? And for Chris...when did you realize you wanted to play music? |
I love these Questions- The reason i wanted to pick up a guitar and do it for a living was the movie "Crossroads " -
not the Britney Movie! I saw that and I told My Pappa that - this is what i wanna do! He said ill give you 24 hours
if you still feel like this we will do what we can to make it happen! The next day he went and bought me my first guitar and
amp.
The first song i ever learned was " House of the Rising Sun" - I finally got it down to the note. I set up my amp in
his bedroom and waited for his return ... He died that night! So if you ever come to a live show i do a little thing before
i start and when i end just to let him know if hes watching that im thinking bout him.
As for how we met! Brad is my younger brother! He is a great Drummer, Bassist, Vocalist, and Songwriter. Love ya
Brother!

| I got wind of this "Ask the guys a question" and I had to check it out! This is a question for
all the guys. Actually it is going to be about 3 questions, ok :-) Background...my boyfriend changed pretty much overnight
for no reason and then tried to use reverse psychology to make me think it was me when it was him. Why do guys want to break
a girls heart? why do guys want to make a girl think it is her fault when he knows he can emotionally handle more then her
and why do guys start relationships with no intentions of following through. I would like to have an opinion from ALL the
guys on these! Thanks and maybe I can come to a show t olisten to the tunes! |
This one is easy! Be you! Go Be Young! If he dont like it - then your heart hasnt found a home. If you want something
to last Forever - It may take Forever!

How do you compare the drive and hunger to write and record now as to when you
were working on "The Storm"? Now that you are successful is it harder to write?
Its not at all hard for me to write! Alot of the stuff that was on The Storm was stuff i didnt want anyone to know. When
you listen to Indian Summer - that is totaly a thought from my past just like Kansas about a former girlfriend P****.
Thats a side of me i dont want anyone to know about - but to be a great writer you have to talk about yourself!
I also believe if your not living life - you cant write about it! Writing is easy -living is the hard part!

If you had your 15 minutes of fame, and like that, it was all taken away, what
would you want people to remember about you (or your music)
If were gone - I would want someone to hop in their car and take good road trip on a summer day and have me coming through
the radio. But what i want them to say is - "He lived with Passion"
I can still take a road trip with Stevie Ray Vaughn any day i want. He may be dead but i live with him everyday.
Thats what music is here for. I can remember as a child my mom telling me that Elvis had died - My reply was "no he didnt
i just saw him on TV". Its amazing how the eyes of a child - knows so many answers!

If you could have dinner with any three people in the world...who would it be any
why? Alive, dead, or fictious.
ALIVE - Paul Stanley from KISS - The best front man to ever hit the stage. James Taylor - The most soulful singer ever!
He makes a Microphone to Happy. Steve Vai - Probably the single most reason I picked up a guitar.
DEAD - J.F.K - What an amazing man! Elvis - just to say thank you! and last Dave Thomas
from the Wendys commercial just so brad could finally meet him. Let me explain that one (haha) - Brad has always wanted to
walk into Wendys and see Dave eating a burger - (Go Figure)
Fictitious- Peter Pan, Superman, and The kids from South Park!

Ive seen your Band show and the Acoustic show. Is the only reason you play alone, is so you can have more
of the spotlight. I mean, come on! Does it not feel so much better with the band behind you! I mean I bought the
storm and i loved it. I also think that you should get off this power trip and get your songs out there with a band.
Well i said - The good, bad and the ugly! So here goes Jason! All of the musicians i have played with in my life
are so close to me. As for the spotlight thing you can put me singing behind the drums! Yes, I do love the stage and
i want to be on one every second of everyday - I dont think i would be a good performer if i didnt ( do You). There is actually
being something done as we speak about my songs getting out there with a band. The new band is gearing up to start
recording in March.
Jason - You can also take the acoustic show as me wanting the spotlight - but what you dont realize is -
They asked Dale Earnhart if it bothered him that people boo him - He said " I dont care if they are Cheering for me,
or against me - as long as they know im here"
Jason, guess what? IM HERE!
but thanks for your honesty - write back!

It's a well-known fact that life on the road can be exhausting, and that things can
get crazy from time to time. (I hope to find out myself in the very near future with my own band.) How do you deal with the
madness?
Good Question - whats the name of your band and Where are you playing? I have a realy hard time with finding something
to do after a show. I hate the fact - like when i played in Atlanta - that i said "Thank you, Good Night" and in a matter
of seconds i was in a cab going to the hotel. Im just not good with dealing with silence. any suggestion? thanks for the question
write back!

Asked by: kingofsin
You dont know me, but i stumbled onto you web page and thought i would e-mail you. I saw that you were a kiss
fan, so what do you think about musicians that are in tribute bands? I go and see them and I love it at the time but
on the way home i always think how sad.
GREAT QUESTION! I seem to have an opinon bout everything but im half and half on this one. I think its great to love
a band that much that you wanna play their stuff. but do i wanna do it all the time -NO.
Also alot of these bands do this just to make money so they can put out their own stuff. So whatever you gotta do to
get your stuff out there - Do IT! I have opened for struuter in cookeville - great band and make alot of money doing it so
i say - get all you can - you cant have enough.
Asked by: Karri
So are you dating anyone or does music play to large of a roll in your life to find the time?
Its really hard! Im not sure i could date someone who does what I do. but i do have my eye on someone and im not even
sure that she knows. Maybe its you! Im still coming up with excuses to be in her town just so she knows the distance, woudnt
be a problem! Ask Me again in a week - I hope i have a different answer!

Leisha has some good questions lol!
What is the one thing you believe to be your biggest
accomplishment and what would you like to accomplish either through music or life in general! |
The thing that music has given me is friends! Just about everyone i know in my life - I have met one way or another through
music. I am also very proud of my first record "The Storm" - It says just about everything i wanted to say at that time in
my life. I consider "The Storm" to be the soundtrack to my life.
As for stuff I want to do in the futre! For sure I want to write a book. Not sure what kind. I want my next album to
be more personal than the last. When i write about a certain person im just gonna use their names - and not hold back!
