at least for me it was..
this morning we played an outdoor festival and we were playing on a Bandstand that was undercover..
but..
where I was set up, the only place left to setup mind you..it was sloped to the left, I bet about a 2" slant from the end plates to the tuners.
Well the first set I was pretty much just sliding off my seat going left and there was no way I could get use the RKR and I had a tuff time using LKR as well.. I was literally sliding left, make that falling left while trying to use my right leg to go right ! I think only Michael Jordan can do that!
Add about 99% humidity to the equation and I would say that the first set was clearly a bust for me.
Hey I can sweat with the best if them.
The second set I moved the Steel kinda sideways but then I was falling backwards, oh what the heck, at least we got paid !

how do you think we get on down under ?? Hell we are playing upside down !!!!, mind you it makes that vertical lever a lot easier to use.
