Fran,

You are only in the "big league" when you can afford roadie...or roadies.

My roadie doesn't drink or do drugs, and is also a terrific keyboard technician...I really lucked out.

Certainly makes life easier for a lazy guy like me.

In Quebec this week, there was a street performer playing sax ... when he finished, he packed up his mp3 player (backing files), CDs, the stand the CDs were on, amplifier, and other odds and ends, strapped them to his BICYCLE with bungee chords and off he went ...

Everything goes into the van by hand. Everything comes out of the van by hand. Sometimes there are 4 or 6 hands. Sometimes there are only two. I do have a hand truck I used to use, but the problems with them are well known. No R&R cart in the foreseeable future.

Hey Bruno123, is the guy in that picture above your 'Manuel'? (private joke - to figure it out see the buy&sell forum).
