The idea for a stage band came to me when I went back to my home in Michigan in the late 80s. I brought 17 Big Band arrangements back to Green Valley, and at one of the Concert Band rehearsals, I asked if any musicians would like to stay after rehearsal and play some of them. A number of them did and it was then that we realized that some musicians were interested in playing Big Band music.

A bunch of them lived on State Street in a house we called the 'Munster House,'.. Pete used to tell this story: They were rehearsing one day and Sam stopped the band, waved his arms, and said, 'Gentlemen, could we please all dress as musicians!'

The biggest thing we can offer in the new band is broadband [data] speeds. You can't even get close to that today. Since the FCC has decided to move us out, we made the decision that it made a lot of sense to pursue a broadband venture.

All these guys I've toured and recorded with, they want to come down here once in a while when we have our get-togethers. This time we're having Don Helms. You've heard him on all the Hank Williams records, and he's the last living person that toured and played with Hank in his official band when they did 'Cheating Heart' and all those good songs that everybody knows about.

It is going to make it more difficult for people without problems to band together. But it is not going to make it difficult for those with real problems to band together. People with legitimate problems will be addressed, and people without won't get a windfall.

In 1934, I formed my own band.
It's fun, I enjoy keeping busy and dealing with people,.. That was one of the best parts of being in the band. We had the opportunity to meet and play for a lot of great people. I think about those days and the other guys a lot. They were a big part of my life.

I'm in India at this point. I'm trying to figure out how I can get gigs there. Because an American couldn't even get a job there. India is such a closed society that anything that you got-TVs, cars, whatever-is made there. They don't import anything; duty is so high. So you can't get a job as like a touring band.

I was so happy to meet an upbeat, understanding person such as Earl Mays because in the time I was a cadet (1973-77), there were not too many jolly faces on that campus. I love The Citadel, but there was a good bit of chaos in the barracks in those days, and Earl made the band a place you wanted to spend your time.

The band was an extracurricular activity. But Earl had the ability to encourage people and push them, at the same time, in order to raise the bar. And through his arranging techniques, he was able to minimize the weaknesses of our band and to emphasize the strengths.

This is still unknown territory. The question is how much of the appeal of a singer like this is because she's underground. It's a classic trade-off in the music industry. There are a lot of people that like that discovery process. They like to be cool. So when the artist actually gets over to a big label, all of their original fans will think the band sold out.
