OMG Bill- I think yours works for me now!

As for drinking on the gig- that time is long over. I'll have one in the beginning to loosen up, and then it's pepsi/coke to keep me going. And I always have water on stage. Sometimes I'll have one if a customer buys to keep good "audience" relations, but I've even politely said no to that at times. I need to say awake for some of those 2+ hour rides home.

At this age, I'm basically banned from drinking with the medications I take. I'm no kid- the stuff just puts me to sleep!
