TANGENT SERIES 4
Putting together a sound system and keeping it in operation on the road is one of the more bothersome tasks in rock ’n’ roll. It’s certainly less fun than just about anything else a musician has to do, except load the trailer. Granted, some of your better-known musicians don’t have to actually lay hands on all that gear and do the maintenance work and the physical labor, but you can bet that any musician is concerned about the sound system.
