The View From the Side of the Stage
by Ricki C.

I'm a roadie. For the uninitiated, this means I haul amps, set up and break down equipment, tune guitars, replace knocked-over microphone and cymbal stands, etc. Mainly I take marching orders from Biggie (occasionally I'm called upon to fetch beers to the stage for the band, although Biggie says I don't have to do that). I'm also the guy selling merchandise (t-shirts & CD’s) after the shows. Humping someone else's gear is what I do when I'm not playing music. There are people who will tell you I'm a better roadie than I am a musician, and I can't say they're necessarily wrong. Essentially I'm getting paid to ride around the United States in a van for 12 hours a day to see Watershed play. Is this a great country or what?

Need more Ricki C.?
