WHAT MAKES THIS SHOW
SO DIFFERENT WITH HAVING BILLY BEHIND THE DRUMS DRIVING THIS BAND?
HE WAS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE DANCEHALL DOCTORS FOR ALL THOSE YEARS.
• Billy Mason, drummer,
from Cleveland, joined in 1994: "He's always a kid at heart. He wants everybody
to be happy. On this record, he was the rock that kept everybody together.
He always puts on a great show, and I don't think he had any overdubs at
all on this record . . . He was the star of the record. At the end of the
session we all stood up and gave him a standing ovation." Tim McGraw November
23rd issue 2002.
TESTING THE WATERS
FOR A DEMAND FOR THE SHOW, HE BROUGHT JEFF RICHARDS IN FOR THE MCGRAW ROLE.
HISTORY WITH THE 2 STEM BACK TO THE EARLY DHD DAYS IN LAUGHLIN, NV WHEN
RICHARDS CAME TO A SHOW. YOU MAY FIND OTHER MCGRAW GUYS OUT THERE, BUT
NONE HAD MCGRAW’S STAMP OF APPROVAL OR AN ORIGINAL BAND MEMBER. MASON COULD
HAVE HAND PICKED ‘ANY’ MCGRAW GUY AND HE PICKED JEFF RICHARDS.
UPON PUTTING THE BAND
TOGETHER, MASON WAS EXTREMELY PARTICULAR ABOUT THE ROLES OF THE BAND MEMBERS.
EACH MEMBER HAD TO HAVE A MCGRAW CONNECTION IN SOME FORM. BUILDING THE
ULTIMATE ALL STAR BAND.
