From the liner notes to the 2005 "Marshall Tucker Band Anthology: The First 30 Years" CD:
"Tommy [Caldwell], being the bass player, was more of a conservative type, so we let him take care of the money."

My father was politically quite liberal, but he was conservative in the sense that he wouldn't go to the supermarket on a Saturday afternoon without first making sure to shave... that kind of thing.

| | | | Well, that does fit me. I have always have handled the business side of all my bands, done all the bookings, handle the money and the bills and accounting, and organize everything. Every band I have ever had has made money and people know it is because I run it as a business. |

That said, playing a certain instrument doesn't determine your personality or maturity.
