Tony, Glad to hear you had a good gig, I knew you could do it....just read the crowd and play accordingly......I performed at a High End Retirement community outdoors also last night....300 people, & although it was only 3 hrs there were many obsticles to overcome such as, The Heat and Humidty which made seing & playing difficuly due to the keys being sweaty & sticky and the screen on the KB /Laptop almost blank until sunset. Mesquitos were out in full force and very hungry, I was getting bit like crazy even though I sprayed myself with Deep Woods OFF.....I couldnt wait to out of there....but I've done these kind of gigs hundreds of times and its par for the course, personally I prefere indoor airconditioned venues for sure!!
