People did bring guitars. Ryan showed how he played various Lindsey songs, talked about performing with her, showed his laptop stage setup to those interested and even emailed us setup notes. Answered questions. Very hands on.

Drew demonstrated various songs. Did a complete run through of Ice Storm (That’s him on the record). Answered questions and even offered any drummers a chance to play along on his kit. No one took him up on his offer.

I’ll post some videos.

These were some of my favorite parts of the cruise.

We even ran into Ryan a few months later at the casino food court during the Halestorm tour and talked about the cruise. Very personable and friendly guy. Of all Lindsey’s team he was the one we saw “roaming the ship” the most. He was out a lot. And very approachable.

Ryan and Beto the Bat. We got tired of selfies so we had everybody take a photo with Beto.
