Members Mutha Goose Posted September 12, 2013 Members Share Posted September 12, 2013 ...I got a call yesterday from a band in a panic. Long story short, they have a very high profile, highly advertized show coming up tomorrow and the guy they hired for lights sold his gear and didn't tell them. So here they are left in the dark (excuse the pun) a few days before this event. They posted on their FaceBook page and various other places online, and called other bands in the area looking for a light guy. From what they told me, my name kept coming up from everyone as the guy to call. Not only that, after having my name, they asked a bunch of people about me... every reponse they got was extremely positive. I work hard to be consistent and reliable, I try to always be professional and respectful to my clients, and their customers. I am thrilled to learn that these efforts were not only noticed, but appreciated. It was fantastic to learn how positive my professional reputation has become.

Members drummer762 Posted September 13, 2013 Members Share Posted September 13, 2013 That's awesome, great to hear that all your efforts and work has earned you a reputation that you deserve! And the show you got called for looks like it'd be a good time, if I didn't have a schedule conflict I'd consider driving out to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoadRanger Posted September 13, 2013 Members Share Posted September 13, 2013 Cool! That's the first stage I ever played on - one of my ex-drummers was in the band that opened for the Stones there . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda funny, I had a similar call a couple months ago - sound guy stopped returning their calls and rumor was he sold off his stuff . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StratGuy22 Posted September 19, 2013 Members Share Posted September 19, 2013 Good stuff! TouchOSC is awesome because you can create anything for an interface. But then you have to think up some sort of interface. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
