If you ask Randy McAllister what decades on the road as a bluesman has taught him, he won’t give you a speech about fame and showmanship. He will tell you one word: adaptability.
“Having to adapt on the fly to breakdowns, breakups and burnouts,” McAllister says. “Adapting to people’s strengths and weaknesses. Adapting to changes, cancellations, additions. Adapting to changes in the tour schedule – time changes, cancellations, additions. Adapting to the crowd atmosphere. Adapting to the temperament of promoters, owners, sponsors, record companies, management. Yes. Adaptability.”
