In that photo, Chris was on his phone and was playing some punk band. I asked him who it was. Then he said, \u201cWere you into all that stuff?\u201d And I said \u201cI was at CBGB\u2019s in 1977\u201d\u2014because I\u2019m older than them. I experienced CBGB back in the 70s. I was there in the second wave when the Dead Boys were there. He got all excited. He said, \u201cOh wow\u2014what I would have given to be there at that time.\u201d We started a conversation about different kinds of music. They were great to photograph.<\/p>\n<p>What I remember the most is seeing how Rich was really quiet and doesn\u2019t talk much. Chris just doesn\u2019t stop and his energy is always moving.<\/p>\n<p>That was shot at the Basement East, about four days before the tornado ripped through East Nashville and destroyed that place. But miraculously, it didn\u2019t destroy that dressing room! Tornadoes are so unpredictable. It got a big chunk of that venue\u2014it sliced through the middle and the roof, but the dressing room was not destroyed. I was shooting for <em>Guitar Player<\/em> magazine and those lights were in that dressing room. Four days later, that place changed forever.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To pledge your support<\/strong>, you can now pre-order this first comprehensive photography book of the Artists of Americana Music via his Kickstarter project.
