NewsPosted by Lisa Lind 2007-11-19 18:46:06It has been brought to our attention that a new book has been published about Stevie Ray Vaughan written by Cutter Brandenburg who was Stevie's road manager in the early days. There is a cool picture in the book of Mason playing Club 544 on Bourbon St. in New Orleans. Here is a quote from the book "You Can't Stop A Comet": "Stevie had played Tipitins's several times and we always had so much fun there. I mean how can ya play New Orleans and not have fun? I remember one time we were walkin' down Bourbon St. and danged if Stevie didn't hear this guitar tone come blowin' out of somewhere and took off. Whipper, Tommy and I looked at each other like, "what the hell is goin' on?" and it was just this guitar tone that Stevie heard and it was coming from Mason Ruffner a great guitar player who later played with Bob Dylan. When we finally got to where Stevie had ran into we found him sittin' right in front of Mason watchin' him, listenin' to him goin'. "wow!" and I looked at Whipper like "I think we're gonna be here for awhile."

We will post the gigs in the "Live Performance" section of this website when they are confirmed. He is currently recovering from a broken hand from an accident that occured this past December. There are plans to start a band in Sweden and to continue honing his skills on the guitar when his hand is healed and to get back to composing. Thanks for your interest in Mason and his music.

NewsPosted by Lisa Lind 2007-11-19 18:44:38In the past, we have not kept you up with news about Mason's Music but in the future we plan on changing that. First of all, many of you ask about Mason's first album on CBS and when and if it will be available on CD. Right now it is not available on CD but we will be checking back with Sony (CBS) and see if we can get it released on CD. The problem is that they require us to order far too many copies. (If anyone out there has thousands of dollars to spare, let us know, hehe). We will try again and let you know if we can get it relaesed on CD. Let us know if you have more questions. More news later..................Rock on, everybody!
