JC Rx was sound man for the Cactus during many of Griff’s years. He recorded many hours of live Austin Music happening in that room. There are hundreds of tapes. The sound was so good in that room. JC passed away in 2021. But the tapes live on.
I was sad to hear that. I have more than a few of those tapes. We always talked about what Alejandro wanted recorded and I would get the tape after the show and deliver to Al. Unless Dana was there.
As Michael doubtless knows, I spent most of the 90s and early Aughts with Joe Eddy at his Alejandro gigs and other projects. Joe and I started going in 84 with a range of bands he was in, as well as great shows as fans. We may very well have been at that Hiatt show. Griff and I became friends because, for some reason, Alejandro had appointed me to check sound from around the room at any show I attended. I shuttled many messages back and forth during those years and learned a lot from sticking with Griff through sound check and the first hour of the show. He was always a friend. 😉 Geez, man, so many memories sparked by these columns. ♥️
