Such a giant loss for the Simpsons family. Chris was a wonderful guy, a great musical talent, and a true professional who made every Simpsons episode from Seasons 1-33 better. I’ll miss working with him and sharing the ups and downs of our beloved Angels (him) and Mets (me).

By my vague recollection, Mr. Simpson has had several hundred side hustles over the years.
Every now and then a tweet like this goes around and the answer is always a union job he got in the late 80s/early 90s.
