neil mason recollections
The day of The Cadillac Three's show at the Cannery in Nashville (Sept 19, 2015), Neil was contacted by TC3's manager, who'd been contacted by Steven Tyler's manager, and informed that Steven would like to have a "large shaker" to use during his surprise guest appearance. "Okay, what kind of shaker?" Neil asked. Their manager didn't know, so Neil googled the song they were going to do with him (Sweet Emotion), found a video of Mr. Tyler with shaker in hand, and off he went in search of something similar. $100 out of Neil's pocket later the shaker was procured and waiting for their special guest when the time came...

Fortunately, Neil wound up with the shaker at the end of the night.
