Hey guys - I have been listening to Alan McPike for quite a while. I've corresponded with him a few times too. Something tells me he is in demand where he resides and does most of his performances in the larger venues. I agree I would not want to have to move and set up this rig, but I also believe he is likely well paid for his efforts.
He sells great backing tracks on his website (
www.standardstrax.com). A while back I bought a few tracks from him and he was nice enough to remove the solo's from the group I bought. He has since started offering the tracks both ways.
Have a great week - pulling for an early spring here - hope it happens!
PS - might have sold my trusty T2 this week... deal pending on it. Taking a loss but I've had it for 5 years this month!
