I had the pleasure of doing the monitor mix for him about 40 years ago. He was a amazing person and performer! The man bought me ( and our whole team) a beer after the show. Kris and the rest of the SR crew sat and talked in a group of about 6 people and just shared stories about life and who and why we were The people that we were. He was interested in all of us on a personal level. He made all of us understand that everyone is special. Love the man. The next round is on me, Kris.
OTOH - Leon Redbone. What a prick. Condescending diva with a complete disdain for everyone... even for his backing band (tuba, snare, clarinet and contrabass). I thought that night would never end.
Funny how success and stardom amplifies who we, as humans, think we are.
Ahhhhhh. 72 years of memories, regrets and joys. Life is good!
