LOL! I started thinking that way when I did society gigs in NY/NJ. You usually had to
walk through a slimey kitchen and close to 100' to get to where you are supposed to play. I
also
play Bass on some gigs. I have to tell you, I like rolling my Ampeg Bass amp in with my Bass
in a gig bag over my shoulder. Or carrying my 1X12" 50 watt Marshall with my strat on my
back. I think there are keyboard players here who will agree with me, how many times have
you played with a guitar player who doesn't have a spare chord, or extra "e" strings or forgets
his pick? LOL! Having said that, keyboards are much more portable than they used to be. TZ
