Bob Heil tells us how he went from being an organ player in the Fox Theatre in St. Louis to being sound man to the stars. He tells the story of rebuilding an old PA that the Fox had thrown out and then renting it to touring acts that came through town...acts like Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. Then he talks about being asked to bring his giant custom PA on the road with a band and how that was the start of his lifelong friendship with Joe Walsh.
