47 and father of three. Teaching high school history and geography since '82. Summers about three other teachers and I go up to a classic rock festival and work as stage hands. Great way to learn about what goes into these big shows (lighting, sound, business). the more we do it the more the old adage seems to ring true: rock and roll is like high school with money. It is a nice change up from teaching though. I've gotten more involved with music in my off time as the years have gone by, and I hope to keep that trend going indefinately. Great thread. sb
