Diki, good points for Florida weather.....and you can stipulate all you want.....but many times you'll be sitting home while another group takes the gig as the client couldn't care less where the band is set up or protected......you want hot?...play outside on an OPEN DECK on an Ocean Liner gig like I did years ago sailing on the Equador to who knows where, Whew!! Only thing hotter was the Bikini Clad ladies on the conga line!!
have fun I hate heat!!
