Ah, well this was in the heady days ofd the early eighties. I used a polymoog for chords, multimoog for lead and a micromoog for bass. I didn't mention there was a drummer and guitarist going full throttle too, making the shock even greater when I looked up to see a small face staring at me.

I later traded the polymoog in for a DX7 - what was I thinking!? Still have the other moogs though.

StPatrick, my youngest son and I have a 1956 22' Airstream trailor, with "Airstream Audio"
graphics on all four sides.

He uses it as a portable DJ booth for car shows, mainly, and I use it as a mobile sound system for outdoor events.

We get lots of jobs from people who see the unit, but we never leave equipment in it, and am concerned about the theft/break-in factor.

I don't use sequences, have no laptop on the stand, but do use a Ketron arranger.

At least once a week, a patron will ask,"do you have (a certain song), instead of "do you know....).

The public is getting more and more used to tracks, sequences and the like.

This town has 6 or 7 horn players playing tracks, but only one other person doing a OMB act with keyboard.

Go figure..
