Didn\'t Jerry play steel guitar on the first NRPS album? I believe he also worked on Blows Against the Empire.

He sure did and appeared with NRPS many, many times - bt.etree has a four show torrent up at the moment if you want to check it out. And also he did that beautiful, tasteful steel on CSNY\'s \'Teach Your Children\'. As for Blows, the whole Starship suite benefits from a Dead input - Mickey Hart\'s on there too.

google him

As far as Stoops goes... If he is available they should realy try to make it last. I agree with everyone else that he is absolutely one of the best all around key players on the scene!

There are a few ways they can take this thing. The TLG/Reed Mathis model: use Stoops as the main player for as long as possible and tour hard when he is available, drawing on a rock solid backup player if Raq is touring. Make Stoops the fulltime player if Raq never makes its way back to the stage (may be the least likely option at present). Find another badass player to fill the 4th spot when one is located - and there are lot of very talented keys players around the country who are not committed to anything fulltime.

Maybe they can dig up Jordan under a rock or something if Stoops is just a fill in.

What has the branch been up to? Casino 6/7 nights a week?

I will miss the musical aspects that Matt brought to the band. I don\'t know enough about music to say, in detail, what I liked, however I feel like he was able to adapt his sound to the current jam better than Jordan did, though I did prefer Jordan\'s use of the organ, and his electrics. Matt I thought was always a bit weak on the synth.

As for the new guy, I didn\'t know anything about either Matt or Chris before they joined, but went into it with a 100% open and unclouded mind. I made this mistake of shutting off the Breakfast last time they were a trio, and I have no intentions of doing that again. I eagerly await the direction the band will go in with open ears and open mind.

No doubt. I was just KEY-BORED.

Note to aspiring guitar players: PLAY KEYS!!!!!!

Keyboard players are so few and far between!!!! There are so many opportunities for good keyboard players.

Shame to see you go Matt, but best of luck to you. Way to take a step back and realize what you want and what\'s best for all.

I\'m looking forward to seeing y\'all at the Yankee in SF in a couple weeks!
