Brad Ryan (Jerry's son) was recruited as the bass player over 20 years ago. "They told me they needed me to fill in until they could find someone" Brad says. "That was 20 years ago."

Since becoming the third string, he has
also written and produced theme songs
and commercial jingles for some well
known clients such as:

The Rick and Bubba Theme song
Sonny & Wimp
International Trucks
McCmillan's Big & Tall
Hamburger Heaven (Featuring Bobby)
Milo's Famous Tea

"He is a natural musician", Bobby says. "He plays a certain role with Three on a String but on his own he produces some dynomite stuff."
