Russ at his desk. You just have to see him play. He is damn good.
I refer back to a story he told me in Key West one night. He had never played with a band and he charted the whole performance from a cd on to a piece of paper. Then he played it in front of several thousand people. It was very good. I was there about forty feet away watching him play. I will always remember that performance and that night. It was very cool. Russ rocks. Wednesday night I touched him on the shoulder and said “Russ, you are the man.”
