Re: Willie Nelson interview..

I remember opening for the band Tonic and the stage manager was totally
cool. He told the crew that doors will not open until the opening band is
happy with the mix. Opposite experience from that was Blessid Union of
Souls. Their keyboard player sat up onstage and dicked with his synth
patches just for fun until it was painfully obvious we would not get any
sound check. Their crew just laughed about it when we asked to even get a
line check.

Other classy types included Peter Allen, Robert Klein, Philip Glass
(threw us a huge party for helping him rehearse 1,000 Airplanes on the
Roof), and the Boys Choir of Harlem. The opposite category is
populated by Alvin Ailey/Judith Jameson, Mark Russell, Mary from Peter
Paul & Mary (Peter and Paul were both really cool, and Peter has such
an ear, he did the monitor mix for the whole orchestra)--and the
Vienna Boys Choir.

I love to hear stories like that. Got any more you'd care to share?
