Bernie, I am happy with my Bose S1 Pro battery powered speakers, and my Flahfish portable power station that keeps my keyboard, mixer, vocal effects unit powered up.



Thanks, I have the Flashfish because of your earlier reco. I am halfway there.

BIG THUMBS UP. A WARNING, though. If I was at the performance I'd flirt with your good looking lady, BIG-TIME!

Problem is , I'm so old I have forgotten why I used to do it.

I guess it's kind of like shooting with an empty pistol.

Seriously, you are one of the folks I have really enjoyed knowing.

Best personal regards,


Russ

Good for you Paul for doing gigs the safe way. And the video performance was enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.

I hope the weather stays nice for awhile, for those that perform out doors only.

Be safe

Thank you Bill, Latin styles are our favorite, but we do county, rock, disco, modern pop, and lots of swinging old standards too. We've attempted just about everything!

Thank so much Terry for taking the time to listen and comment. Yes, we love playing just about any gig. It's just the set up and tearing down that's a chore!

Glad to hear you got the Flashfish. Once you get some battery powered speakers you'll probably never want to plug into a wall again!

Thank you Captain Russ for checking out the video! And since you are "shooting with an empty pistol" your welcome to flirt with my wife. LOL : )

Thanks Larry. I guess you could say that it's safer than playing inside, but of course no guarantees. We have another backyard party coming up on a patio with a roof. I may ask to have them change us to play on their pool deck instead of the patio, but it will be in November, so who knows what the weather will be like? So, yes, there are some risks involved...

Paul outdoors is golden; indoors is much higher risk. You want to stay where air is moving to carry away any virus that might be breathed out. Personally I would avoid being under the patio roof if the weather allows it. You don't want to be anywhere that contaminated air could build up over a period of time. I'm not a medical professional but that's my $.02. All of my social interaction since March has been outdoors; so far none of my immediate friends have gotten sick.

I'm glad you're playing out again. Someday when this is all over I promise I'll bring a date to Dallas and see you in person!!

I'm totally with you about being safer outdoors. I am surprised that schools haven't made any effort to push outdoor classes- at least where I teach. I am keeping my windows open, the AC running and a fan blowing in my classroom in an effort to keep the air flow moving. Hope it works....

Bring your date to the Bishop Arts District on Saturday October 17th 7pm-10pm. We're doing a "street" concert. You don't even have to buy anything and parking is free.... No excuses : )
