I always wondered if he was related to the family who ran Don 
Dixon Sound, which did the sound for most concerts in the Triangle
and much of central & eastern NC from the late 50's until ??. 
They also rented out sound trucks that politicians used to drive 
around neighborhoods spouting campaign slogans (remember those, 
you old folks?).

My first concert memories as a child (say 6 to 10) were having
my dad (who did publicity for THE concert and wrestling promoter
in NC & Southern Virgina - Joe Murnick) sit me down next to the 
Don Dixon soundman at Dorton Arena (which then was at the side of 
the stage - out front sound control had yet to be discovered).
This nice, fat, country bumpkin fellow got to babysit me and run
the sound while my dad would go BS with Murnick & his 2 sons and
whatever artist management was on the road with the "stars".
