Topic: Bus Gear
Hey Joe,
I spent a week or so on Henry's bus this summer, and in my 20s, the better part of that decade on there. Recently I spent two days on the bus with Diamond Dave.
So, whats on your bus?
Re: Bus Gear
Well, I DO take "the bus" to go to work sometimes, does that count??!

Re: Bus Gear
Our bus was designed and put together by Roberts Brothers Coaches in Nashville.. It has 13 tvs.. front and back lounge. 8 bunks. This one we are currently on was built in 2006. We rent and dont buy.. You seriously dont want to fix or own these things.. Previous bands who have been on here.. Widespread Panic / Hinder...It rides like train. Chuck Warren is our driver for Celebrity Coaches. Chuck is by far the best driver Ive ever had.. Ive been renting buses for years. He is killer. I sleep in the bottom front left bunk.(dont bang on it and wake me up please) We always have plently of diet coke, water, wine and grey goose and ice. Yankee candles are all over. Pumkin pie scented. For the holidays. Chips and Salsa ( thanks Rhonda) Snacks o plenty( thanks patty and Jane) I have a sirius satelite radio to listen to my shows everyday and cringe on how my ands and ums I use.. Im working on it. Chuck has XM but we wont hold that against him. We get direct tv(580 channels) and wifi internet as we roll.. Im spoiled I know. Im very lucky and always remember were I came from. We also have 100 concert DVD's. Im watching Paul Rogers live in Glascow right now. He is so good its not right..
So thats my bus for this tour.. Id send pictures if I knew how..

Cool setup...
Joe have you had any good wines lately???
Music is good for the Soul...
Re: Bus Gear
Hello David,
Talking about wines; I know Joe likes them, I gave him a box at his 28th birthday when he had a show in Amersfoort May 8th.
Good you remember me, I'll give him and band another one when they play in Hardenberg March 14th. Joe likes Italian wines a lot I think.
