Way to go, guys. In this business, you gotta be prepared for anything!

I carry extra mikes, cables, cords and fuses for amplifiers.

At the restaurant I work most often, employees are thrown in the pool right behind me on their last night. It's done after dark, so somethimes I don't see it coming. I've had keyboards knocked over, shaving cream sprayed into my arranger, guitars knocked over and buckets of water thrown into speaker cabinets. Major damage each time.

I've also had tubes go bad, power surges knock out power strips, tripped circuit breakers that were impossible to locate...whatever. Playing outside is rough!

Replaced and repaired a lot of equipment over the years....Been a hell of a ride...wouldn't change a thing!
