Dan and Jerry..

Fellas'..give me a little credit..

I'm gonna be 62 in March..I've got myself a pacemaker and a defibrolator clanging away in my chest..I've been a musician my whole life..not a part timer, mind you, but a full time road dog for over 40 years.
It's all I've ever done...I pretty much retired a couple of years ago and now only gig for grins ( and nice piles of money!)
I have abrilliant sounding twin that traveled with me for almost 30 0f those years..my DeVille joined the team about 15 years ago..I LOVE those amps and my sound...
Do you think I'd be looking at this change if it weren't a practical necessity?

My performing situation varies wildly...sometimes we share stages with other acts and I have to move my amp...that hurts!
If we have to change a stage plot I can't always get a body to help..sometimes I bring my own gear in my car..lifting those behemouths out of the the trunk takes two men and a boy!
Of course I realizae I'm going to be facing sonic compromise...but...heck..at least I'll survive the friggin' gig!

Ya' just do what ya' gotta do...and that's what I'm doing...
I just hope I can find good homes for the twin and the DeVille...they've been real good to me.

I think maybe I'll go out in the garage and daisy chain those two suckers, turn 'em all the way up and play Smoke on The Water One more time.

That will certainly lead to an interesting condo association meeting next week.

And, honestly..does this look like a guy who WANTS to play thru a pukey solid state amp into one twelve?
