ANOTHER TRUE ROCK AND ROLL STORY.

I late 1969, my band manager of Hard Willow (Geoff Jones) promoted a Three Dog Night concert in Columbus. As we drove past the theater, we saw that their name was misspelled. Somehow, I climbed up on the marquee and corrected it.

A union crew guy was also passing by and he spotted me on the marquee. Geoff informed me soon thereafter that I was banned from the theater for doing a union man's job. I was a 19-year-old scab. I did get in backstage after the show to hang with the band for a while.

In mid-2015. I worked for a while as a trade-show pitchman for a Nashville gutter company. This was my set--a faux house facade with gutters that worked. I dressed in rock and roll rags and asked passersby, "How do you feel?"

"Great. How about you?"

"I feel good, but I'm very sore,"

"Why?"

"Because I live in this house and the bedroom is too small...BUT...
I love my gutters. Let me show you why."

IT WORKED! I got them more appointments than they could handle.
