Well it's Wednesday and we are gearing up for this Saturday's performance in Clearlake. It's only a short 40 min drive for me but I look forward to playing in Clearlake even though we probably only play there once or twice a year. But this 4th of July gig has turned out to be a really fun gig each year and we get more fans every year. Lots of old friends that have been followong my music for many years and a few new ones too. It gets my goat though that they don't advertise us actually performing like everyone else does when we play. The sound is a problen also due to the inadiquate electric they supply us for our band to plug in to. Most people do not realize how important it is to have a good grounded power source for the band, We draw quite a bit of power when we perform outside. A single dual outlet with a 20 amp circuit it not hardly enough. the PA amps will usually heat up and blow that right away. So I hope they have fixed the problem. In fact i am going to call Randy and make sure they give us at least 2 separate places to plug in to. At this point i am also trying to find a steel guitar player to perform with us next week in Redding or a fiddle player. i am opening a new club in Redding next week and Country nite is on Thursday so looks like we will be traveling to North every 4-5 weeks or so to play up there but thats ok we need more fans and more people downloading our songs. more about that in another post. hey feel free to join in on these posts or start your own, I'd like to relive some stories if you have any good ones. And i am sure the new fans we are getting from around the orld would like to read some things about us. hey gotta go for now...LOU
