Quotes:

“Live sound is difficult, frustrating, has long hours, and often commands very bad pay. Even though mixing live sound might be an awesome job, it’s just a small part of what you do as a live sound engineer. Sometimes running live sound just sucks.”
“I’m a big believer in quitting fast if you really know it’s not for you.”
