My Debt Is Paid

This past Monday and Tuesday I finished paying off my debts. Over a year ago, I asked Aaron McCarty to ride with me out to Illinois to pick up a van I bought off of autotrader.com. He went. Just recently Aaron called and asked if I would like to ride with him to NC so that he could work on his upcoming recording. I said yes and what a hoot it was. (I really didn't consider the trip a hassle at all. We just refered to the trip as "the debt".) I had the privilege of meeting Jeff Tolbert of the Primitive Quartet. Mr. Tolbert is one fantastic guitar, mandolin, and banjo player. He is also producing Aaron's project. I also met Tim Surrett, a former member of the Kingsmen Quartet and the Isaac's. He ripped up the upright bass and dobro. The drummer's name was Rick. He was quite the nutcase. I encouraged Aaron to use this man more, but not everyone carries the same opinion on drums that I do. Rick was just awsome. Anyways to make a long story short, it was a great privilege to meet these men and watch them work. I encourage everyone to buy one of Aaron's CD's when it comes out. It looks like it is going to be a great project. It has a sound similar to the Isaac's. Aaron wrote 3 of the songs recorded on the project. Bottomline: Check it out when you can. It's some cool stuff.
