Re: grumpy sound men
On average he was solid but frequently drunk and inappropriately strange. Can you imagine being a band member? It is bad enough when the sound guy is bad or grumpy.... This is wildly off the beaten path. He is brazen, bored and drunk. It reminds me of the owner of a club in cambridge who used to jump on stage with many acts to play cowbell without asking. At least he was cute and enthusiastic. Or even stranger and true, a folk club owner who would for many years would preface every show with the profoundly sad story of his dead baby's natural demise (who only lived for a few hours after birth) .
Its hard to follow that kind of introduction...." Our babies dead so lets listen to some music by these nice musicians". It was surreal, heart breaking and sad. Great people putting everything out for all to see but an unusual performance choice that dampened every show. This world of ours is special place.
