: I think I told the story of me and the boss removing an 18ft body from a straight truck with a front-end loader, no??
Just to clarify, this was an 18ft truck body (I know good and well you were curious).
One of the later posts reminded me of a Gospel recording date several years ago. During the service, several women wandering around came over to FOH and starting singing to my analyzer mic a wonderful harmony to what the group was playing. Without thinking, I pointed at an audience mic and as they took off for it, I thought, "Boy, I've done it now". Sure enough, my Clear-Com beacon explodes and I hear "Is someone SINGING on the friggin' audience mic??". It was only after the producer let it be known that he liked what the women were singing and would try to use it on the album that I 'fessed up and told of how it came about.
