Everyone except for the drummer is set up before me. They're all in their early 40s and move a lot faster than me. In my older age I'm overall a lot more practical about my gigs. And anything I can take off my plate to make the gig go smooth for me , I'll do it. But not at anyone else's expense. I might do a little tweaking for my sound on stage. Not much, as soon as I hear something I like and my chorus pedal is set I'm good. Dave, I completely delegate the sound in the house to the sound guys. That's not my area of expertise. Hopefully they'll get me a good sound and place me properly in the mix. I'm not getting involved with that part of a show. Keep in mind, 10 years ago I'd definitely be on the other side of the fence.

If we can keep the stage volume low it will be fine. I'm more concerned about the dep drummer. We just call these guys in with no rehearsal. We don't play anything difficult and we expect them to fall in line. Daryl

This is the same place we did that cover of "Crossroads " Daryl

The rig is not my style. Dave, 2 years ago I would have said no thanks, I'll bring my amp. Now, anytime I can walk into a gig with a bass in my hand and my pedalboard over my shoulder I'll take it. Daryl

Maple Road Rockfield Music & Media Saturday 7-10 Germantown "Come check out the coolest living room house party around! BYOB and kick back and enjoy some up close rockin' blues! Special guest Kevin Henkel on drums for this one! " Always a good gig here. We always pack this place. I'm still concerned about dep drummers. But it is what it is. I'm not picky about backline amps anymore. Here's a Pic of the provided rig. Daryl

Dave, I'm a big fan of afternoon gigs and getting home early. That Indian take away sounds good too. Daryl

Nice pics. Looks like a fancy venue. Daryl

Hiding gigs? I would be devastated if my band did that to me. Sounds like an up front arrangement could be made. I hope everything works out. Daryl

It does look tight for space. I'm glad you guys had a good time. Daryl

Our Saturday holiday gig was cancelled. So, no gigs this weekend. I guess the venue doubled booked. I'll never understand how that happens. Daryl

Very Nice Daryl

We had a crowd, however it was awkward.Nice room, nice stage and sound. We bought our own lighting. Like I said this place is more for the Saturday night party bands. There were a few "screw ups" musically . Good paying gig and some nice tips. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BTJQAGVN2/ https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17qH8nAp5f/ Daryl

Agreed Daryl

Nice depping. Nobody ever calls me for anything. Daryl

Nice Starfire ! Daryl
