Man, you folks have given me some great ideas to work on. Sounds like I better start practicing more. :-)

I have gotten away from music over the past 5 years or so (it's tough being an adult with adult responsibilities sometimes) but sharing info on this forum is getting the creative side ticking again and that is good!

gdaddy - I have a jamman that I need to dust off and put to work. I had forgotten all about it and it would certainly add to live performance variety.

john - I know what you mean. I played drums for many years and the thought of setting up and eventually breaking down drums at 2:30 makes my back ache thinking about it. One of my younger friends wants me to join him but his gigs will be the late night variety. Nothing gets started in this town until 10:00! I just picture myself falling asleep after the first set. LOL!

Notes - thanks for the link. I am going to spend some time reading that one.

I feel another bout of gear acquisition syndrome coming on.

Let's see... how can I make up a new list of gear to buy and sell the idea to my wife....
