I think he's still in the band. Remember that he not only plays for
Peacock and the 77's, but for Vector as well. I'm sure that's a big
schedule to keep... =}

Ok, I musta missed the facts but caught the end of the rumours. Where's
Aaron Smith. Did he really "quit" the band as one r.m.c. review of a
concert said. I've seen the band without Aaron when he was drumming for
Charlie Peacock or something but there was never the report that he quit,
only "missing." Remember the picture inside the Pray Naked cover.

What's the FACTS? Anybody know for sure?

Didn't he also play for Rich Mullins in concert. I am not sure about this,
but I know somebody who saw him in concert last year, and he said He thought
that Rich had Aaron Smith playing drums for him. Not sure about that, though

according to sources close to the band (always wanted to say that) Aaron is
still with the 77's. the reason behind his abscence is financial. the a-train
recently moved to nashville to have more opportunities at being a studio
musician and apparently the move has paid off. it was financially unreasonable
for aaron to give up some studio work to go tour.
hopefully, that is all there is to the story. the sevens just wouldn't be the
same without his pounding and thrashing.

Re: aaron smith's status with the 77s, has he quit? is he just not
touring? what?

in mike roe's interview with VoG last month, he said that the band he
had to tour (himself on guitars, mark harmon on bass, bruce spencer
on drums) was put together for convenience's sake, and the reason that
it was bruce on drums and not aaron was that bruce was living in
california and aaron was living in nashville, and geographically that
was the way that things worked out best.

he also said that no one ever quits the 77s, they just become alumni
members. 8-)

chuck, still .sigless, no time to make one.

You bet...When I saw Rich and the Ragamuffins here in Dallas, Aaron Smith
was doing some pounding and thrashing on them drums for the Richster...

He recently re-located to Nashville, so he could try to get full-time
touring and studio work. He just played on Rich Mullins new album and
will probably be touring with Rich. Bruce Spencer, who has been playing
on the 77's tour was one of Vector's (and Peacock's) early drummers.

And Michael Card. I think he might have been a fill in there...seems
a waste. That was a couple years ago. -Bob
