Tour diary: All Mighty Senators
In fall 2005, Baltimore funk rock group All Mighty Senators scored an opening spot on Busta Rhymes' (pictured) six-week tour.
From guitarist/singer Warren Boes:
We were in Atlanta. I was in another room at this point, but [the rest of the band] was in a dressing room and they saw him coming down the hall.
Craig, our trombone player said, "Hey Busta, come over here, we're All Mighty Senators. We're the opening band."
He said, "Congratulations," and then went into his dressing room.
That was the only contact we had with him for five weeks. That was the extent of that. It was very strange. It was a weird tour, for sure.
