One of the more eye-opening things for me in becoming a fan of Tift is realizing how hard the tours are. I certainly had the mistaken impression that it was airplanes, or at least lavish tour buses, from show to show, living the good life. While you can't really see anything in this video, as conditions are somewhat hostile, Jay and Zeke did a short clip on what it's like traveling.

I think this falls in line with Tift's comment to a fan at the Tuscon show, as Shug recounted in another thread.

Also, on TiftMerritt.com, they posted a link to this short interview with Tift on Head Butler
