Yes, yes, yes! It's going to be a great show!
Make your plans NOW to be there.

So sorry to hear this. My condolences to the family.

Personally and quite selfishly, I play for myself. By that, I mean my sound, tone and how I execute my playing affects me first. I play roughly 50 gigs a year to mostly senior listemers and dancers. M ...

At 74, sometimes I FEEL like it's me. All the moving, setting up and breaking down and loading has aged me a lot in the last several years. I really need a dedicated roadie!

Thank you both.

Any I ask, please? What does the color knob do?
