We are putting together a BLACK back up band of dark color so that Justin will really stand apart in front of the band. It has to look good on stage and on video. That is our first priority. Musicianship is the second priority.

I did some recording work in Muscle Shoals with a drummer named Roger Clark, a master musician.


He had just come back from a few days in Tulsa where he auditioned for Leon Russell's band. Leon told him that he was too good, that Leon needed to be the star musician on the stage.

That must be why Leon used Gary Busey, who played well but not lethally so.

Anybody got any choice tales of not getting the gig for the wrong reason?
