But don't go onstage hungry either, eat about 1 1/2 hours before you play. You won't be hungry and your system will have time to mostly deal with it.

Glad to hear from another ole fart, I can't find anyone serious around here except for one bass player who's now trying his luck in Nashville, been thinking about checking out some of the possibilities in other places like the Baton Rouge/New Orleans area and Mississippi too, but probably not as far south as Gulfport, that's a bit of a drive, but I guess if it was worthwhile I'd make the trip...Maybe Jackson or Vicksburg, 2 hours or so from me. Supposed to go do some recording in Tupelo after the 1st sometime too, that should be interesting, never been there.
Have they rebuilt the place yet? I know the main reason I haven't tried BR/NO is they have very little housing yet and what is available is incredibly expensive. My sister tried to go to work down there and couldn't find a place to park a travel trailer, the one place that did have a 2 day space was around $150 for a weekend, most of them $450 a month or better for just a travel trailer...It's more like $300 or less most other places.
Anyway, keep it up, crank it up and honk if you drive by here.
