Thanks!! Roadies were apparently quite an issue in that world...

from 1973, thanks for pointing out that magazine, more issues here, that particular band went on to great things, or, at least, one of the members did (Modern Talking, 11 years later)... and if you hired them, they'd come in a VW bus with two roadies carrying a Hohner piano and other good stuff... the magazine was founded by a former roadie and focused exactly on the types of things that roadies care about, the heavy objects, the cars...

Thanks for that link! Clearly, the archived version of that issue is of better quality than my copy!

I see pages like this and wonder about being around that scene in those days,
but the reality was "worship from afar." I think that's what makes it magical for me in the end -
that it's "Music From Across the Big Swamp" (which is the way I related to it in those days).
