Subject:Re: TIPPING inept Sound mixers

I have had completely inept soundmen and I have BEEN the completely
inept soundman

"you're an engineer, right? come do sound for us!" How can you argue
with reasoning like that? Ok, so I do some and everyone is ecstatic!
"best they've ever sounded" etc. Ok, great. Smiles all around. Word
gets out and I get a call or two that I wasnt' really looking for but
what the heck?

THEN I do this purgatory gig where all the wives are sitting in the
crowd. You ever try to please 5 wives about the mix in a band? The
same band they seem to think their husbands ought notta be in in the
first place ?!? I was, of course, totally incompetent and have 5 women
to vouch for it.
Honest.

I'm sure there are some "honest" mistakes, as in the sound guy not
recognizing that the bass will trevel further than treble- generally
they like bass or drums the hell with the rest.
