Reminiscing: Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
My first, no second job was working for Andy Frain, a so-called security company. They specialize in crowd control for concerts basically.
My first night on the job was to make sure the riff-raff didn't 'bother' the members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band that was playing at the Convention Center (which is now known as the Louisville Gardens).
The toughest thing I had to endure that night was standing for three hours straight with out a break. No riff-raff to deal with all night. Nadda.
As the headline band wrapped things up and exited the stage, they had to pass by me, and I couldn't resist calling lead member Jeff Hanna over to say hello. I just had to say hello.
He thought that there was some sort of 'security' issue because of my attire.
I explained that I just wanted to shake hands.
Afterward, I felt embarrassed. He walked away.
I quit the next day.
Enjoy.
