Old guy meets memories listed here. I was in the sound tech business for many years. Taj Mahal. Great English bluesman. Bought me a pitcher of Guiness and drank it with me, because he liked my work. Julian Lennon sat behind me at a live show while I mixed the warmup band for his show. After, he said "great mix". I think I hadn't taken a breath in 40 minutes. All of R.E.M. Long story I won't go into other than we drank a lot of Makers Mark together. Mojo Nixon. Look him up. Weird Al Yankovic. Bizarre night during the show and after. Warren Zevon. Amazing show. Arlo Guthrie borrowed my lighter during a sound check break to light his pot pipe on the loading dock of my work building... It goes on from there.
