We arrived in Holt, MI after the Avett Brothers. Their tour bus was parked on a very narrow driveway and we needed to get past them.
I asked our stage manager, and he suggested driving in the grass. Well, I guess he wasn’t aware that the grass was just top soil. To make it worse, the grass was soaked in melted snow.
So, we got stuck. After a half hour of digging, we made no progress. We asked around, calls were made, and finally a gentleman named John Manning came to our rescue. He hooked our van to his F-150 and dragged us to flat land.
We put him and his family on The List, but he couldn’t make it.
Here’s to you, John Manning, wherever you are.
