I think I may have gotten a dobro for Chad back in '96 or '97 when we were both at Belmont, and I was taking a semester off working at Gibson. If that's right, I hope it served him well (and sorry about the months-long wait to fix a pin-hole in the nitro)! Life took me in a different direction, but my recollection is Chad is 100% right about relationships being key to working in music: talent & intensive practice can prepare one for success, but positive interactions with others in the music community ultimately are what make your phone ring with opportunity. IT makes me happy to see that happen for Chad!
@@TruetoneFX It was interesting and challenging, in that it wasn't what I expected at all. Except for the product we were making, it wasn't different from any other factory job I'd had in my high school years, though I did meet a lot of good people working there. I left behind any music industry aspirations & joined the military, which turned out to be a great fit for me.
This was great Zac! Chad is an awesome musician and fabulous human.
Thanks, friend! Zac
Another great show Truetone!
Love seeing him tour with the legendary Carrie Underwood!

Very cool! Was working at Gibson a good experience?

I feel like a fat lazy bastard after watching this. Chad will do anything. Wow!
Hi Zac another great interview have you approached Scotty Anderson or did i miss the episode ?
Would love to interview Scotty.

Hey Zac, maybe your buddy Chad can help you get Jimmy O in for an interview!
Maybe after things get back to normal
When the first thing I see on an episode is a guy wearing a Masonic ring, I know it'll be a great episode
