Do you plan on doing a tour in support of the new album?
The answer is a definite yes. The only question is when we would be doing that particular tour and where. I know talks have been had about touring this record in Europe because we always felt that the market for Rick Nelson music was stronger in Europe than anywhere else. But it looks like if we are going to be doing a tour in support of this record, we are going to have to wait until the spring of 2001.
Do you enjoy going on the road or is it just a grind?
Well, that's a great question too, it just really depends. I think a lot of it comes down to, one, what kind of gigs you are playing-are you playing large places with incredible audiences or are you playing small places which make it seem more like work? Its all just rock n’ roll in the end, a gig’s a gig and any gig is great to play. But I think the hardest thing about being on the road is not the gigs in the first place. It’s really the travel that comes in-between the gigs or the travel it takes to get to the gig in the first place. I really enjoy being on stage more than anything else in the world. What I don’t enjoy dealing with are the cab drivers, buses, the plane schedules, the delays, the rude desk clerks...you name it. It is what it is and at least we are not punching a time clock.
