Our bus driver Russell Brisby has been with us pretty much from the beginning. He helped us fix up our original 1955 GMC tour bus and through the years the buses have come and gone, but Russell is still here right beside us. These days among many other things, he helps with my farm concerts and is a big part of our annual Homestead Festival.
I wrote this song with Erin Enderlin somewhere in about 2012 and though I've sang it in concert from time to time, the version she recorded still knocks me out. It's the perfect song to tell some of the story of 'me and this ol' Russ'.
