Traded a trusty old Nikon for a Pbass and bought a Marshall head and some reflex cab . It was big . That was replaced by an Ampeg fridge . Went through a bunch of stuff but settled on a GK RB400 with a fifteen when the RB amps first came out . That head was indestructible ! Was always playing the local bars but got tired of the driving and decided to just keep it in town . Was always gigging , in various bands . Getting lots of sub work . You could almost make a living just doing music .
Managed to combine working in commercial photographic studios with playing nights . Wound up with my own studio . My work was all reproduction , I never sold prints , or did weddings . But I shot a ton of grocery flyers , and got a lot of annual reports . Retired and still play the local bars . Now I like Bergantino . I just play in town , but I’ve got to put it in the car , set it up , and drive it home so I like Class D power and nice cabs .
Because of the virus we’re in a temporary lockdown again , but we’ll eventually be back making spectacles of ourselves . Funny , I never thought I’d be still playing in bars at this age .
