With A Little Help From My Friends

in music •  7 years ago 

Hello all you music fans of Texas bands! I want to talk about a very special guy I’ve known since 2008. His name is Joel. I First met Joel when he was a guitar tech for Cross Canadian Ragweed.

My dad took me to a show in Poplar Bluff, MO. Like at all shows, there is a “merch” table. They sell t-shirts, CDs, can koozies, and such. The merch guy, Nathan, introduced me to Joel backstage. I was absolutely fascinated with Joel and his guitar world.

Joel and I hit it off from the start. Every concert I went to after that, Joel always let me help him. Being backstage meant the world to me. Joel is always good for a backstage pass.

I love hanging out with band guys! They're cool and have been very good to me. Joel and I have been friends for many years. We continue to keep in contact through Facebook and text messaging. Joel keeps me informed of Cody Canada shows and other bands when they come to St. Louis.

I have also crossed state lines to go to shows.I've been to Nebraska, Kansas City MO, Tulsa OK, Chicago IL, and Columbia MO.

My brother built a guitar box, just so I could be like JoelI have always appreciated Joel’s kindness. Other people in this world could learn a lot from him.

Til next time folks, enjoy your music. It’s good for the soul!
