Run To You

White Dog happened in '89 when I thought it was more cool to be a rock 'n' roller than a Realtor. At the time of this photo, all the guys you see were in some state of serious personal flux. White Dog was the band that would propel us to stardom...

I.B. Alexander was the master showman of the band. Rob Malone, the guitarsmith whose soul is tied to his strings. Mitch Rigel is the best of all drummers in all ways at all times, period. And Mike Fairbanks is the best frontman; a guy's guy the ladies adore. And that's me in the center - just lucky enough to be in the middle of it all.
