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?
