Ed on his beginnings:

"I got into audio professionally when I was going to college. I was about to graduate, and I was home for summer. I was thinking about law school. I had friends that I had played music, and they had a band and were going on tour. They were going to play at clubs, and they asked me if I would drive their truck. I put myself through school working for my uncle, so I knew how to drive a truck. And I said sure. I started driving their truck and humping gear for them.

In those days live sound was quite rudimentary. I just started paying attention to it, and one day a few weeks in, the soundman didn’t show up. They pointed to me and said, “You’re mixing the band tonight.” That’s how I started, around 1972."
