In my youth, I was a stagehand. I have spent many hours rigging shows, running a soundboard, working a spotlight, and loading and unloading hundreds if not thousands of trucks.
In 1991, I decided to experience life on the road with a band as equipment manager.
I was hired by a South African reggae band led by Lucky Dube for a North American tour.
That summer would change my life forever. You can read a more detailed account of that summer in a link provide at the bottom of this article.
