Go here to read the entire Sound Mountain Series. For a long time now, Ben hadn’t thought about his early days in the business at Jack’s. Eighteen months ago, he’d been picked up for his first major tour as a systems engineer, after working a regional festival. His experience with AC distro, grounding and making panels and stringers had proven valuable. The veteran touring guys from the national act recognized Ben’s skills and attitude by the end of the first…

Go here to read the entire Sound Mountain Series. Ben had been working for Chief Systems Tech Jim Fredrick for a few months, and he was starting to get the hang of it. It was a really good break that Doug McDougald, his predecessor, had moved on to Monitors and was now preparing to go out on a major tour. Most of Ben’s work in Systems wasn’t that different from what he’d been doing for Jack in the shop -…

Go here to read the entire Sound Mountain Series. Although Ben was stung by David’s treatment of him during the whole cable thing in his first weeks of employment at Frank’s Sound Company and Show Rentals, he resolved to stick it out and keep going – even though it wasn’t always easy. Truth be told, David was a terrible supervisor and it seemed that he only had Ben doing the really crappy stuff, working with the dirty cables back from…

Go here to read the entire Sound Mountain Series. Ben had gotten the gig but had some doubts about what he really did and didn’t know. Frank’s comment in the interview about killing someone with improper AC grounding had prompted him to order a book and study up over the weekend to help get a handle on things. But overall, he was psyched, and now it was Monday morning, the start of his new job. Ben entered the lobby at…

Go here to read the entire Sound Mountain Series. Ben Davis knew this was it, and he was ready. He had secured an interview with Frank of Frank’s Sound Company and Show Rentals, and he was right on time. Frank let Ben walk into the office behind him, and then shut the door and motioned for Ben to sit down in one of the leather couches at the corner of the room. “You can relax, Ben,” said Frank with a…

Go here to read the entire Sound Mountain Series. It Begins: Anticipation Ben awoke at dawn filled with hope and excitement – this was the day he was to kneel before the audio gods at Frank’s Sound Company and Show Rentals. Ben had been waiting for this day for two years while he worked his way through the daunting challenges placed before him at the community college audio program. He was ready to prove his worth and show his mettle…
