| VOYAGER:
That's the average citizen, though, not us true music
lovers. DT: And the average musician, too, though. Most musicians are on that path, too. I think that most people who play don't neccesarily see it. They don't spend time to learn their instrument or the history behind it or to even figure out where the music they're playing came from. They just start a band and go for it and try to conquer the world. There's a small, small group of musicians that see it, but that's enough to keep it going. Well, some of the other band members are here, too, unless you had something else to ask me? VOYAGER: Well, I did have one more question, but I don't want to seem like a dick. I realize its a touchy area for you to talk about. The whole Dickey Betts situation -- is there ANY comment you could make on that? DT: Not really, because its not really up to me. Its 30 years, 31 years of the internal drama. And its musical on another level, too. But you never know, they've had so many ups and downs that I don't think anything is final. With that I let Trucks go about doing whatever 21 year old guitar heroes do while on the road in Indiana. In the meantime Trucks & Co. say you should be on the lookout for a CD with their new singer, Javier Colon, around July of 2001. Read our interview here with him. |
