Stephen Kohlmann from Minneapolis picked today's My 3 Songs set because...
" These songs are dedicated to the memory of Gordon "Gungi" Patterson. He was a sound engineer and road manager since the 1970s and he recently passed away after a 3-year battle with cancer. Standing at 6'11", the Scotsman was easy to spot mixing the sound at shows all over the world for a diverse group of acts over the course of his career, from Judas Preist to Damien Rice. The three songs chosen are from three bands he's been on the road with, showcasing the eclectic range of acts he helped look good and sound good for thousands of fans. And let his passing remind us of the fact that there are far too many unsung hereos in the music industry, aka, be nice to roadies!"
