Wow. The ooks pretty cool. I've never blogged before, though.

I'd like to help out any way I can for the weekend in question, but as some of you may know, I've been tagged to provide (i.e. pay for), coordinate (beg), and run (turn knobs) the PA sound for the show Saturday night. Of all things, my little brother has been singing in some well-known places down in Nashville for the past few years and, somehow, he got picked to bring his band up to Callao to play Saturday night. He specializes in Texas swing and early CW.

I don't know if many of you remember, but I'm definitely NOT a big fan of country or western music (not that there's anything wrong with it). But, since I AM a fan of rock and being the professional's that we are, my son and I still have to try and provide decent sound for the audience. We only take comfort in knowing that we'll be blowing more power out into the crowd than they did at Woodstock (which really wan't all that much), assuming the circuit breakers up at the fairgrounds can handle it. Plus, like some wise man once said, "If you can't hear very well, move in closer!". Only groupies in the first 4 rows, please.

Until now...I hadn't blogged either...so new to me as well. Looking forward to hearing the band for sure...I am sure we will be able to hear above the first four rows of groupies...so we should be good....
