Here's a quote from Macca Report again, tour reports, 2nd Philly gig: "A Rusty moment: When the band was boarding the bus to leave Philly, a fan (Congrats to Eric Cheesic) asked Rusty if he could have a guitar pick. Rusty reached into his pocket and found a quarter. "I think this is all I have," he said apologetically. The fan jokingly said, "I'll take the money." Rusty reached back into his pocket and discovered a pick! The fan held out his hand. Rusty gave him only the quarter. The expression on the fan's face bordered on shock. Rusty was joking of course, and gave him both the pick AND the quarter! What a guy! Eric also got his "Back in the US" CD signed by Rusty, Abe, Wix and Brian!" http://www.maccareport.com/

You can bring your own CD to Borders for him to sign it, but to be on the safe side, call them up and ask if it's all right. The cd is also available at Best Buy- I checked when I was there today.

Oh no no, sorry for the confusion, it wasn't Rusty (UNFORTUNATELY! :'[ ), it was the guy who got the pick and the quarter from Rusty! ops: BUT I DID GET ONE OF RUSTY'S PICKS FROM A ROADIE!

I came across this article on Macca Report again. Friday, October 14, 2005 -- Flint Journal On tour with Paul McCartney, guitarist lives a dream For journeyman guitarist Rusty Anderson, playing in Paul McCartney's band is a dream come true. "When I was 5, I flipped out on the Beatles," said Anderson, who first toured with McCartney on 2002's "Driving USA" tour. He wasn't the only American kid to fall prey to the Beatles' melodic magic. It was another three years before Anderson got his first guitar. Now he's playing solos made famous by George Harrison in front of arenas full of adoring fans as part of a gifted band that has energized McCartney's recent live shows. "(With) the positive reaction this band has had doing all these gigs with Paul, it does have its own life force," Anderson said from New York, where McCartney's "US" tour in support of his acclaimed new "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard" CD had settled in for a few days. Anderson is promoting his new record, "Undressing Underwater," an eclectic mix of Beatlesque harmonies, Mick Ronson-era Bowie and '60s surf and sci-fi rock. He is a well-traveled singer, guitarist and songwriter who has worked with the Police's Stewart Copeland in Animal Logic (along with Stanley Clarke), played in nearly famous bands like Ednaswap and backed the likes of Elton John and Courtney Love. He said making a solo record after all these years was something he had to do. McCartney and Copeland appear on his solo debut. "I've worn a lot of hats, had my own bands, sung lead, backup, written with others. I've played on people's records. It's just sort of a natural thing that I aspired to do," he said. Anderson says playing in McCartney's band - which includes guitarist Brian Ray, keyboardist Paul "Wx" Wickens and drummer Abe Laboriel Jr. - is "a high point for sure. Certainly, playing with Paul is high profile and fun and a different kind of experience." It wasn't fun, Anderson admitted, when fussy "Chaos" producer Nigel Godrich persuaded McCartney to record the album without his band. Godrich, he said, "felt like Paul would use us to defend against his decisions ... Nigel didn't want to deal with a gang." Anderson, who called it a "bad decision" while admitting it was a "good record," said McCartney and the band did record several songs at London's Abbey Road studios with producer David Kahne. It's unclear if that material will be released. Playing some of the most famous songs - and solos - in the world puts Anderson in an interesting creative position. "I try not to rewrite the Bible," he said, "but I'll throw a little English on them."
