An acquaintance of mine has been playing in the Doors tribute band 'wild child' for years - since the late 80's or early 90s(?).
Because of that gig he eventually became Robbie Kriegers guitar and amp tech ... and now he subs for Krieger when he can't or doesn't want to do a Doors gig or tour. Almost exact same story for a buddy who is the drummer for EW&F ... started as the drum tech. Being a tech is a great way to get your foot in the door so to speak (pun intended). *and Jones - please bore us! I love this stuff.

I think the guitar tech stories are a fantastic insight in to the world of pro musicians, as are some of the session and touring guitarist stories.

And, they are seen from the perspective of a watcher AND connoisseur, which is a plus for the listener - so, Neil, let's hear some nice stories

Interesting! I did some guitar tech work for a while when I was getting started teaching. Hated it, absolutely loathed it. Just wanted to play the damn thing
