Lol so hillarious!!! I just.got up and this is the very 1st thing I listened too!!! Soò funny!!! Made my day!!! Gonna fix my breakfast of cornflakes and a banana and listen to this again!!! Lol keep em coming
wow just made my day… thought nobody was listenin’
Oh yeah, I’ll listen to it three times lol maybe even the fourth one
this must’ve been such an exciting time. Hopefully the good memories shine brightly while the bad ones fade away.
Hey Doug and now we’re tellin our stories on the back porch! LOL
“The Econo Band” was clever! I like clever. You could call your new little Nutshell friends your Econo Band. I was never into Russ but I was a big fan of Steve Taylor. I loved his wordplay, It’s like mine. Get my book! A Legacy to Stand on.
Steve is a back row friend too and a preachers Kid… never thought about the ‘kids all at the same time’ lol
Lol these stories are so funny.
I remember that Darkness Is Falling song and video. It’s a good song.
Doesn’t matter how many numbers you had back then you still traveled the world and many people love your music even now
I hadn’t planned on bein here this long tho.. I’m gonna get a cortisone shot for my birthday LOL
The Econo Band was very clever! I like clever. You could call your new little Nutshell kids your Econo Band. I was never into Russ but I was a big fan of Steve Taylor. I loved his wordplay, It’s like mine. Get my book! A Legacy to Stand on. I know you’ll like it.
books are hard to carry around now a days.. maybe you could trade me labor? send me yer PDF and I’ll send you mp3’s of a whole album.. ?
Love this album. Wondered who was who on the album cover…figured lawyer, judge, doctor…people of high authority. They are much taller than you and are in dress suits. You seem so nonchalant about their ruling. Your album covers always give people workable art. Thanks for sharing…I’m not on social media very much for now had but always want to keep up with you and nutshellsermons.com. Makes me stay calm and even kiel.
thanks at the nutshells keep me crackin LOL
There’s a lot about fame and expectation and Christian commitment in spite of ourselves packed into this one. A nice snapshot in time too.
hey Gray! I know right.. when I told the story first time never thought of all the details that are unique to the time period !
, well be encouraged between Carman, Steve G and you , your the one still alive! So there is that
Steve G? who’s that too many steves to mention! lol
Haha! I know way too many Steve’s haha! I meant Keith G – Keith Green haha! I probably was thinking Steve Green haha
I’m confused!
B, I CAN REMEMBER WHEN I SAW THE ADVERTISEMENT OF THE” HAVE YOURSELF COMMITTED “ALBUM IN CCM MAGAZINE. I DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THE BREAK UP OF SCB AT THE TIME ALL I KNEW WAS MAN YOU WHERE COMING OUT WITH YOUR FIRST SOLO RECORD AND I HAD TO GET IT !I KNEW IT WAS GONNA BE GOOD AND I WASN’T DISAPPOINTED AT ALL. I WORE THAT CASSETTE OUT ! TELL ME IF I WRONG BUT I CAME TO ONE OF YOUR CONCERTS AND REMEMBER YOU HAD A BAND AND ONE THE PLAYERS WAS A GIRL WHO PLAYED THE KEYS ! HER NAME WAS STAR I THINK AND I THINK SHE PLAYED IN ARSINIO HALL BAND ALSO I BELIEVE IF IT WAS THE SAME GIRL ! THAT MUST HAVE BEEN THE LIVE BAND WHEN THE ECONO-BAND TOOK A BREAK FROM THAT GIG !
yea Star Parodi did the Arsenio Hall show.. still writes for television shows mostly … lost her house in the L.A. Palasades Fires.. there were only a few full band gigs in 84 85.. it was when I started touring with Taylor the Econo Band was born
What’s so cool about your style of speaking is that you talk so fast it doesn’t give my attention deficit disorder any time to not focus. lol
LOL thanks A. S. and Normal people find it irritating that I’m like that! EXACTLY AS MY BRAIN WORKS… like three people talkin over each other all the time! ROFL
you just made my day by the way
So funny….your nutshell sermons always crack me up!
So Bryan….I was in the third row last night in Campbell at Russ and Steve’s concert….I knew you were probably going to surprise everyone and come on stage because I heard you mention that you were doing that in California …….but we wanted to hear you do more than 2 songs!!! Ugh. I kept wondering why Steve’s set was so long….then Russ came out and said he lost his voice and would see how long he would go…..but seriously they should have had you do more! Just sayin’!
thanks nice to hear you were there.. I did feel occasionally like I overstayed my welcome.. not sure I would want to continue it in current touring but I was happy to support!
I love this album, it was different to everything else around, & the lyrics were real life.
Bryan I put my hand up at work to your alter call, and often burst out laughing when listening to nutshell sermons, leaving my work mates wondering what’s going on
LOL I know you! now.. send a crap load of songs to ya yesterday.. via email. cause I hate Drop Box
