re: #51 albusteve

oh hell yes…hanging out with the techs and roadies, girlfriends and wives, opening acts…it’s a pretty special gig for a fan, sitting on a gear box chatting with Bonnie Raitt or whoever

That was actually my gig for a few years in the early 70s, writing for an entertainment rag in Philly. I interviewed a lot of also-rans, but also got to interview bona-fide legends like Rory Gallagher.

I always get a reaction when I tell the youngsters that I got to play Rory’s Stratocaster.
