My first "job" was when I was 15 years old, as an usher working for Whiting Auditorium in Flint. And the first show I ever worked was The Touring Brady Bunch Show Starring Davy Jones of the Monkees. At some point we realized that we didn't have flashlights to seat people after the show had started. So I went back to get some more from backstage.

As I was walking along, there was Davy Jones, probably two or three inches shorter than my 15 year old self. Maybe he was just having a bad day, or maybe he thought that performing a live Brady Bunch show to a half-full house in Flint, MI was a low-point in his career... I can't say. But basically I said, "Hey, you're Davy Jones!" and he said, "Righto, and who the Hell are you?"
