For years I thought Darius Rucker was the leader of the band, Hootie and the Blowfish. Now, we find that even though he co-founded the group, guitarist Mark Bryan was the boss. All Darius did was sing. Rucker told CMT.com,"To be honest with you, when I was with Hootie, I was a singer . . . that's all I did. I didn't put together the shows.  I was a singer in Mark Bryan's band.  So I just showed up and sang".
