weighted down would blow away. We slept in tents and had to put the tents behind wind breaks to keep them from blowing away. It turned out to be quite the adventure.

DD: That was such a beautiful girl that played your dream lover in the video.

Sable: Kevin had sent us a lot of pretty girls to look at. We had debated about several of them before we told Kevin who we thought would be good. Then when Chris and I got off the plane in California Kevin showed us another girl that he thought we should use. Nadia was her name, and she had been a host of "E" Television in Italy and had come to this country to become known here. Kevin told us that some of the girls we had picked had turned us down because they didn't want to spend two days on an island, especially because we had a low talent budget. I sent Max her photo and he agreed she would be good.

Nadia was the sweetest person....and she was experienced at being on camera, which helped out a lot because she knew how to make me feel at ease. Even though I'm used to playing in front of thousands of people that's a lot different than performing in front of a camera. Nadia helped me get comfortable with it.

DD: Has music always been something you wanted to pursue? How did the band come to be?

Sable: When we were kids, my brother started playing guitar and one day he stuck it in my hands and said "Play this, I'm going to play bass." We were just playing around and it was fun!

Million: (laughing) Like all young boys who pick up a guitar and discover....hey I can play this and get laid....that's how they all get started.

Sable: (laughing) Yeah it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

DD: What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?

Sable: I have to say it feels pretty good to be driving along in my truck and hearing one of my songs on the radio. That never ceases to give me chills. Performing with great country artists makes me feel good too. Going out on the same stage at the same time and getting the feeling from them that I belong there, that's pretty special. Our third single release was "Drop of Rain." It spent 17 weeks in the Top Ten and three weeks at #1 on some of the national country radio charts....that was a big accomplishment for me. And knowing that Chris and I wrote it was the icing on the cake.
