RT: Oh yeah, very much. We had a day off and did the typical tourist thing.

Born in Dallas , Texas , United States, Tutt was a native Texan and was involved with music and performing arts for most of his childhood. In an early gig, he appeared on the same bill as a then little-known Elvis Presley. Tutt didn't think much of him, as his girlfriend spent the evening making eyes at him. Tutt recounted this story to Presley years later when he was working for him, which Presley found hilarious. He flew in with his drum kit, which he set up in the recording studio, though while he was waiting to be called, another drummer walked in and began playing his kit.

We felt very excited it was energetic, from the stand point of that you had a captured audience, for the first time rather than a lot of other extenuating circumstances, reasons that people where in Vegas. College allowed me to break into a melting pot of musicians from all over Northern America, that allowed us to go out and work in the Dallas, Fort Worth area, and actually hone your skills of playing while going to school while you're there. ET: If you are living with someone, you don't see changes in the same way as if you only see them regularly. This punk, who does he think he is, I wasn't aware of his music, he was just an up and coming artist then, you know.

Then at the last minute the Colonel pops up with this little short tour, he figured, everybody was just waiting for their call, to be brought to them, I said sorry I can't do it. We didn't even have the luxury of going in and taking individual tracks, re-mixing and all that, we didn't have that. Two hours and twenty minutes every night.
