Ok. This is no big deal. It really isn't. I'm just sharing my insanity with you all. This is something that only somebody who's ate-up would attempt anyway. So...with that being said, below is my set up:

1. Two Cerwin Vega, 15 inch full range, front cabinets (500-1000 watts peak).
2. Cerwin Vega 2800 series power amp (600 watts 'stereo' per side).
3. GD Walker SS with the TC Processor (300 watts per side).
4. Yamaha 5 disc, CD Changer
5. Allen & Heath 10 channel mixer
6. Mullen SD10 5 X 4...white.

Then I load up my system with all your favorite classic country artists and chime in. I sound like I'm on the album with them all. Of course, you would have to be able to accomplish some signature licks such as 'Highway 40 Blues' or 'I Don't Even Know Your Name', etc. There is always someone in the audience who challenges me and tries to trip me up. Oh well. Besides, who cares? Other than that, I'm improvisational. The show must go on, right? I'm 60 years of age. I retired from the Department of Defense in December, 2015, last year. During that tenure, I always had a recording studio where I would keep myself somewhat rehearsed. Anyway, when I got out of the Marine Corps, I spent 20/maybe 25 of those years in America's Honky Tonk Barrooms playing full time at 5-6 nights a week. My existence itself is a miracle. If it wasn't for Jesus, I wouldn't even be typing this thread. So anyway, I have quite a library of music to choose from. I keep my approach to this simple. I only play the real, Classic Country music and become a walk down memory lane for many, many passerby's. I've been also entertaining our troops off and on here in Oklahoma at many of our Veteran's Centers throughout the state. Oh yea. I almost forgot to mention this to you. To make a long story short, I just go by 'Greely & Friends'. Funny, huh?
