Sitting here single I decided to stick my neck out a couple days ago and see if I could find any gigs. In early October I've got an hour and a half gig at a winery, paying well, and decided to spend that check ahead of time. I've got a real decent amp (from Marty years ago), and a mic with a cable I can plug into the amp. I've also got a cable I can plug into the guitar and the amp. I need a mic stand, and then decided to get a wagon or what some people call a hand cart or something so I can take the stuff in an out of places. I was driving by Lowe's today and saw this: About 40 bucks. Then, (Iowans will know) at West Music in Cedar Rapids I saw a mic stand for about the same price. I don't know. I thought a gooseneck stand might be good, but they told me good things about boom stands. With a bit of fun money to spend, any suggestions on the cart or stand? Thanks ahead of time. Todd, I am THRILLED you are getting out there and doing a gig. That is so wonderful. I have always loved your playing and especially your voice. Get out there and share it for all to enjoy. I have two hand carts. One is about the size of the one pictured and a larger one. The smaller one is what I use most. It folds flat for transport. I couldn’t be without it. When I do a small show (senior gig) I can get everything onto that cart. I have used both goosenecks and boom stands. I have always preferred the gooseneck as I can get the mic exactly where I want it. Much more difficult doing so with the boom.

Or you could ask someone you know with a crap load of high quality used stuff to sell you some of his. He would also sit in with you for any gig, all you'd need to do is ask. I knew you know your stuff, but didn't know you had stuff. I'll be getting hold of you. Thanks! '

You just have to wait a couple weeks until I'm available again.

Glad you're taking the plunge! Getting back into music was a big help to me, hope it does the same for you. I'll be glad to help anyway I can, just let me know.
