Yes Donny I hate playing outside in the heat and humidity but I won't play unless there's coverage for us. One was at a new Cafe for Grand Opening. They said they would have a tent. Showed up and theres a small stage under an short overhang which almost covered us. There was a pop up tent propped up against the wall if we wanted to set ite up. We went on and 2 hours. later here come the clouds. Told them we're outta here, too risky and they agreed.
The gigs here in my community have been under the large pool pavilion, full coverage with ceiling fans. Yesterday went and set up, Saw the clouds coming in, started raining lightly, played Rainy Night in Bluffton (Georgia), went into Every Day I Have the Blues, and ba-boom, the sky explodes. Lightning, moonsoon rains and wind. Stopped playing and though we're OK, Wrong ! The water started flooding the pavilion floor, Packed up and everything was wet from the wind blown rain and flooded floor, Got home Its all spread out in my garage now. What we do for fame ! Sax player has a video setup and we will do a vid in the future.
