The Sound Dude can be your bestest friend or worstest enemy! (Are those words?
Probably not......but they describe the Sound Guy to a "T". ) Not easy doing
sound, you take a lot of heat for all too little credit.
We had wonderful sound at Thomas Point Beach, and at one point in the closing

That and a hug earlier by Rhonda Vincent made this ol man's
weekend.....month.....YEAR.....even!
Still not back down to Earth,
Richie
