Road Crew
=====================================

Benny Crabtree
Joey’s brother, Jimmy's Bass Tech, Van Driver, consummate stagehand and ultimate right hand man.

Benny was always a favorite of mine, always a smile on his face and always a blast to run into … I believe Benny returned to OH
after The Shock Tu days in Dallas and I think he got a chance to do some sprint car racing (a favorite sport of his) before he
passed away in 2003, due to ALS (Lou Gehrigs Disease). Benny will be sorely missed … a great guy.

Benny is mentioned on Joey’s MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/joeycjones

Eddie Stokes
Rick’s Guitar Tech and all-round good guy, another one that was just happy to be part of the action.
