   About Chris Schutz and the Tourists
I'm a Missouri boy that left the country for the big city when I was just a lad. Went searching for the man behind the curtain, instead I found the angels with dirty faces. I spent some years playing bass in a blues band and the blues remains a big influence. I tend to write about everyday kind of folks and the trials and tribulations of my own collection af strange days. The Tourists vary from little old me to a 6 piece depending on the show- lately I've been touring as a duo or trio with 2 guitars and a bass- when not on the road I enjoy the finer things in life- Camel Lights, Maxwell House and PBS. I have a love affair with vinyl records and Radioshack tape recorders, I never learned how to write in cursive and still use rabbit ears to get my three channels of TV in my little house next to the tracks. I am working on my next record here in Philly with my friend and fellow Tourist, Jay Davidson. I don't have a title yet, not since I found out "Heavy Metal Be-Bop" was already spoken for.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... 

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 

Where traditions are not so rare; 
    Sea, country and works scent the air; 
A multitude of monuments, 
    Planted tubs and patterned pavements. 

The longish pedestrian malls; 
    The remnants of defensive walls; 
Historic buildings are a gauge 
    Of the respect for heritage. 

Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; 
    Estuaries guarded by shields; 
Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; 
    Romantic-ruin go-betweens. 

Rivers in parts licked by trees, 
    Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, 
And crossed by practical delights - 
    Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. 

Fine churches headed at Durham; 
    Football kits ad infinitum; 
Kept castles - one for study; 
    Masonry behind masonry. 

And, with moulding-works out that way, 
It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
