That was a fairly minor incident compared to some I've experienced. I remember once when I was with the Trio, George and I showed up for sound check at this high school auditorium and it was the students running sound and lights for us. They were pretty much clue-less so I had to go up to the sound booth to assist. The sound booth was located at the end of a catwalk in the ceiling of the auditorium and I have a bit of acrophobia. I was holding onto those hand rails for dear life and trying not to look down. Once I had the levels set on all the mics I turned to the student du jour and warned him to not touch anything but the master volume, cuz I wasn't coming back up there again.
