Re: Backup Band and Additional Musicians
Joe said in in interview that getting Steuart was a big plus..He's so good, writes and produces. When making the LROE Joe said that Steuart played most all the guitar parts. Joe just played his songs and played mostly piano, keyboard and organ on the album.
Steuart is one of the few players you can still see using a thumb pick.
Re: Backup Band and Additional Musicians
Thanks for the link, Scamp. Steuart is a very talented guy for sure.

Will was inducted into the Rochester Music Hall of Fame this past weekend and he had a surprised special guest, his boss Don Henley.
There was also a video montage from Michael/Scott/Steuart, Joe, Timothy, Vince, and Deacon congratulating Will.

Re: Backup Band and Additional Musicians
Very cool! I lived in Rochester for a few years and worked across the street from the Eastman Theater, why didn't this happen when I was there??!!
Congratulations Will Hollis!

Happy 60th Birthday to the longest member of the back up band, Scotty!! I met him once in 2017 after the Don’s solo show in Austin. A nice guy who took the time to talk to us. Him and Michael.
