Did an outside gig yesterday in Bueafort SC and it was HOT and HUMID. But still had a good time and my duo "The Jersey Guys" was very well recieved.. cool2

Came home beat so I thought I'd share this from another site for all of us who've been there.

"I miss gigging
So I loaded up my car with all my gear.
Drove around for an hour and came back home.
Unloaded the car, took it up three flights to the attic and set it all up.
Sat around for an hour and ate some cold chicken wings.
Played along with studio tracks of classic rock standards for three hours, but all sped up about 5 Bpm.
Paused about halfway thru to pur a beer on my amp, and for Tina, who has had a few, knocked over the stage lights and fell over a stage monitor.
Packed up my gear, left $50 to cover what was left of my tab after I got paid,
took my gear down three flights, loaded it in my car, drove around for an hour, Came back home, unpacked all my gear, came in , ate like a pig and watched old movies till 4AM "

I did stay up late and watched a movie "The Green Book" Excellent !!!

One of the few movies that I must have overlooked. I'll dig it up later this evening.

Bill - Congrats on the outside work and...Thanks for the share - indeed, it sounds like another fun gig! "The Green Book" was indeed an amazing movie too!
