The next in our pre-album launch "ROOT GUESTS - QUESTIONNAIRE" Series is now published on the MANNING Web Site.
This time it is the turn of David Albone.
David was the MANNING Drummer from 2008-2010. He bowed out from performing due to recurring painful problems with his arms.
Dave's last show was a big one! ROSFEST 2010. It was a superb gig and with a packed house and brilliantly receptive audience, we went down a storm.
When Rick (Henry) was unavailable to take up the drums for "The Root...", Dave quietly volunteered and over a few weeks we completed the album parts very successfully. It was nice working with Dave again even if just for a brief time.
Rick is now using Dave's solid arrangements as a baseline for the live show...
