I knew a stage set guy worked for Santana for years. Talk about stories!
He'll still take the occasional local Union gig, but has slowed it down.
Knew a British guy named Scott that worked for Marshall years ago and
he'd go on the road with various Marshall amp users specifically to handle
them. He started going Global in the 1970's.
He broke his back tumbling down a (private) access ramp for Clapton
years ago here in SF and has remained permanently disabled and "stuck"
in this area due to foul Union rules between UK and U.S. laws governing
such. Said Clapton personally paid his hospital bills the first year.
He's on a fixed income, gets around in a wheelchair (somehow - he's in his
late 60's, about 6'6" and 300 lbs.) and still manages to have a great attitude
most times considering the hell of a thing he's been through.
Collects coins outside Costco for the Salvation Army during Winter, ringing that bell.
Great Spirit.
