Thank you, I really try as hard as I can to get the job done. I'm convinced the tone, and the volume that I play at, has gotten me the repeat gigs. I have had steady weekly gigs at various places with some being over 10 years, and most of my gigs I've had for over 5. And even with all that gigging, it's constant evolution to keep the gigs, and to make the job easier. Along with always writing new songs, or rearranging different covers, my last few years I've been working on reducing the size and weight in gear, and the amount of gear that I take to the gigs, so that my work is less, and my days are shorter. Many times I'll do two, or sometimes three, 3 hour gigs in a day, so shorter setup and breakdown times make those days go much better. Fortunately some really good pieces of gear have hit the scene that help with that.
