Zan, I can't give up the contact because I don't want to loose the source. But part of it goes into how hard each wants to promote the band. Tommy thinks that you have to do the radio shows, the give aways, etc. and really work to make it successful, while Jack would rather pay someone else to do it and let the chips fall where they may.

Tommy wants to do it right. At least as how he sees it. I'm not saying that they won't tour again like this, just that it is very unlikely, as things are set up now, particularly behind the scenes where the managing and promoting of the band is,

You have to remember that these shows it is just them for the most part. Very different than the big machines that Styx and Night Ranger have behind them. Also based on the size of the venues they are playing 400-600 peeps, there is little room for error in the selling/promoting of the event. Noone is underwriting these shows now.

And while these two are really great friends, each has there own quirks that are different than the others. And Tommy puts a higher value on the friendship than the touring dates.

Strange because , not to name drop, but my info came from Tommy and Jack, in person, backstage at different shows, but hey, maybe they don't even know
