hsech Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I've played over 100 gigs. My advice is: DON'T DRINK BEFORE THE GIG....... IT DOESN'T HELP. STAY AWAY FROM THINGS YOU CAN TRIP OVER ON STAGE. TAKE EXTRA STRINGS. IF YOU HAVE A TUBE AMP, TAKE A BACKUP SOLID STATE AMP. TAKE AN EXTRA FUSE FOR THE PA. USE STRAP LOCKS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, I drank water the whole night. Strap plocks on the KH2 but the buttons on my PGM are really big. We taped down the mic cables and walk carefully over guitar cables. Back up amp was in my car. Extra strings I had but no extra fuse for PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mingling at the bar after your set with soiled shorts is no fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hsech... Ogden Iowa? Sheesh. I thought nowadays it was considered part of the Des Moines/Ames urban complex along with the rest of Boone County. <chortle> But you're still young. I remember tales of how some of the older cars hadda go backwards up the Boone Hill on good old bloody 30 'cuz the gravity feed fuel tanks didn't work going up something that steep. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is the one from Ogden. We moved here 4 years ago. It was her turn to be close to her family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Hsech... My little sis and her kids and grandkids are on the Texas Gulf Coast. I've relatives over in Carrol County. In fact, some relatives were early settlers there when it was "out west." <grin> Boone County is nice country, especially down by the river, albeit a bit sticky in the summer. Well... your wife's too young to remember tales of the old Boone Hill. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
