I have never had a backup for my PA, or my Guitar or my keyboard with me on the job. I know I have been lucky but I weigh the risk against carrying the extra equipment and money involved and chose not to. However, I do carry a backup for my music in my laptop--I don't trust it. But I did the same with my first calculator, I would write my numbers on a paper bag and then total them just to see if the calculator was correct.

I always had a friend with an instrument or PA who lived near by, but not on the job.

Bad things can happen, it is our personalities that decide what to prepare for. Calculated risks.

Today is starting just fine, John C.

At one time long back I had a wife and a girl friend, is that the same type of thing?
