Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[GwenOnBass]

I got this folding stool at Walmart. There is also a shorter version.

That's really all I need. Of course part of me is looking at the one that looks similar and has a built in instrument stand. One less bit, and all. Which also reminds me, a folding handtruck of sorts is indicated. I like the idea of those wagon-like folding carriers but for the notion of load > car > unload to put gear in car, reverse, to load-in, then around again for load-out and home.

And still grateful not to have the Old Rig (tm) that I literally can't lift in or out of the car at 63. Sounded good, tho. Wait, strike that. It was loud. Wait, strike that. It always worked exactly as expected. <- objectively true

Now with the sun well-over the yardarm, that first taste from the new bottle of limoncello. Midway through laundry as I get ready for my inaugural cruise of a new heated mattress pad. Not doing terribly well on the stay-off-my-feet day today as all the bedding is refreshed.

"Work hard in the day time, rest easy at night"

'Round the last time I played to a room, I called Big Boss Man "Jimmy Reed style". And made that happen. Later as an audience member to the same guitarist, noticed the same song wasn't "Jimmy Reed style". The BL did pick up the song for his set when I was no longer physically able to take the stage.

Certainly will be calling that tune again, and it's got that, you know, Jimmy Reed bounce.

Speaking of Animal House, fascinating to observe being present to the possibility I may have been somebody's Fawn Liebowitz at university.

Hafta admit: never seen "Animal House". I'll attempt to remember the reference if I see it....someday.

I have one sorta like this from(of course)Walmart that stays in the van, which is parked in the garage. I only use it to get stuff in and out of the gigs.

Yeh an ordinary handtruck ought to do it.

My blues band does a Jimmy Reed tune , "Baby What You Want." Cool tune.
I've heard a couple of different versions of it but the Jimmy Reed version is the definition of the song for me.

Nice rig. Wouldn't work for my needs due to mixed sizes and shapes, which includes 2 soft sided, collapsing duffels with cables, mics, accessories, etc. I need sides.

The Sunday open mic/jam band does this song. IDK how to describe the feel, but it ain't this. The BL starts it and the regular drummer doesn't "feel" it so it's sort of a

Yup that lil' handtruck ought to do it. At most I'm moving < 80 pounds. And 40 pounds or less is likely most probable for most of my needs.

Rock n Roller has different models, and they are great. Sturdy, easy rolling, and easy fielding to store.

Yeh, Jimmy Reed is Jimmy Reed, there's no other way to explain it

We have one of those rock n roller carts. A friend has a wheelie cart with fabric sides, sort of a big basket on wheels. I like it much better than what we have because you can put all sorts of things in it without worrying about them sliding around and falling off.

Yup, Mine just did that to me. At least hospital food has gotten better.

I like the way it folds, and it's bungee cord-free. The only thing that stays my hand today are stairs.
