Backstory? Nice work if you can get it!:AOK

Thanks for asking. I worked as a guitar tech for 25 years. When I wasn't on the road I worked as a stagehand. 35 years in show biz all together.

Here's a few of my bosses/clients
Sonny Landreth with Roy Rogers. I worked for both of them at various points.

I just realized these pictures are like 3 years apart and coincidentally he seems to be wearing the same suit.
That's David Barrard on Bass

I had the privilege of seeing Buddy Guy in the midst of a snowstorm in Green Bay a number of years ago. Great show, even though he wasn't feeling well.

Thanks, guys...It was a lot of fun sometimes, a lot of work usually...

I always used to say "This crazy business. I'm always poor, no retirement, no 401k, no profit sharing.... I shoulda went to law school"...
My wife says "Why? You got to do whatever you wanted for 30 years. That's priceless."
