I must be out of touch with reality as it exists today.
the only thing I used to carry to the gigs was my arrangement folder because I was playing piano. I often doubled on Trumpet and that was out in the car if I needed it.
NOW DAYS, I am 76 and I carry either a tyros 2 with a separate sound system or my G 70. I also pack along a PAIR of Peavey KB 100's that I think are about 75 pounds each with only one handle
I just pack them out to the motorhome, stow them in the basement and away we go. somehow I just don't understand all these previous posts in this thread. It was interesting reading but makes no sense to me. Maybe I am just too old to understand or even give a shXt
I do what I do because I want to. those that want to listen to me do so because they want to
Best to all,
Bebop
