Thanks for the reminder of one of the most important members of many bands, rarely thanked or recognized for their hard work. In The Magic Band, I got paid an extra 10 quid to help Jimmy O'Neill (brother of Joe and former member of Murphy and the Swallows) our road manager, set up and take down the gear. Jimmy is a great guy and as we travelled alone with the gear, we shared a lot of time together. He gave me an education I will never forget about the band scene in the late 60's and early 70's and he had great stories about the "good old days." Jimmy helped make my experience with the band something I will always cherish...thanks Jimmy!
