| Earlier this year on the Country Music Awards Paisley's band was dressed in full tux while Brad walked on the stage dressed in black jeans and a Haines white t-shirt. Tonight Brad came on the stage dressed in all black, including a black tie wearing a black leather coat, while the band came out wearing straw hats, bib-coveralls and white t-shirts. Is this called cross-over, if so, Brad get on the same side of the street. |

I didn't see the award shows but i enjoy ol Brad's music. Seems the steel in the songs i've heard him do is pretty well out front, by todays standards. I don't care if he and the band dress in scuba gear, as long as the steel is easily heard and not covered up by the tube-screamin rock guitar.   Let's hear the steel.

Maybe someone's getting paid to come up with these "creative" ideas.

Sounds like that scene in "Honeysuckle Rose" where they get this new, young, hotshot guitar player who has some fancy nudie suit. They send him out front to warm up the audience, then when the curtain opens, there's Willie and the whole band in these hideous, yellow and green outfits. Playing "Whiskey River" of course.

A clothing-related Brad Paisley note - you'll all recall that for his induction night into the Opry back in Febr, he wore Buck Owens' rhine-stoned yellow jacket from the '66 Carnegie Hall show.
He played an outdoor festival gig outside Comstock, Nebr (pop. 135) a couple of weeks ago - I got to visit with him for awhile outside his bus that afternoon. Realizing that I had Buck's Carnegie Hall CD in my pickup - I told Brad I had something for him to autograph, so went and fetched the liner with the great cover pic of Buck, Don, and the fellas in their suits standing outside Carnegie Hall.
Paisley was thrilled, said that was the first occasion anyone had asked him to sign that - and promised that in signing that cover, was like signing in blood in reverence for Buck, Don, and all-things Bakersfield. He actually hesitated a bit about whether or not he thought he should sign it. I pointed to the sky and told him that Don would love the way he rings that tele - Brad's reply... "Man, I hope he's listening with you tonight here in Nebraska". - Neil |

To each his own?
You reminded me of a couple of weird stage gags of the past...Mason Williams "playing" live on a 70's concert TV special. He did "Classical Gas" on a see-through plexiglass guitar, with water and a live goldfish in it. And...
The sax player at a late 1970's Frank Zappa concert...playing (quite well, in fact) two saxes simultaneously, which were both nestled beneath a fur coat he wore!
If the music is good, I can more or less ignore the wardrobe and/or antics. |

other TV stage antics...
the only POCO video I ever saw back in the 70's,( for "You'd Better THink Twice" I believe) had the band out on a sailing craft of some sort, and Rusty Young was "playing" his pedal steel set up on deck with no pedal rods attached... |
