"So i'd have to have a drive me over there until i finally got a driver's license and then little by little i learned how to set up systems Learned how to fix the stuff i broke. And it just kind of snowballed from there. And i got better and better and i start to mix local bands in the more. I did sound the last. i actually played. so it. kind of transitioned out of being a musician into being. Pa tech and repair guy at that point.
