I’ve had quite a few outdoor shows already this year, but this one was for a small town (although very “famous”) fair, which featured being placed in a pavilion, surrounded on all sides by gravel sidewalks and driveways. Needless to say, every step from families and their kids, and the golf carts driving by the stage, sent gravel dust flying and blowing thru our gear.

I noticed the outsides of the cases got the worst of it, but does anyone have their own ideas about how to clean/dust off the exposed electronic gear? I know compressed air can do more harm than good, but just wondering.

Since the wireless mic firmware update debacle 😁, I reached a couple week stretch with no shows using my gear (you never want to update firmware on a show day, or just before), so I updated everything in my rig that needed it. This included the Wing Rack, two DL16 stageboxes, three Stageconnect output devices, my X32 Core, and a partridge in a pear tree. Also, no bungee cables were used in the process.

I got a chance to do a Thursday show at the CRMU Amphitheater this last week. The show was never in danger of being cancelled, but the heavy rain sure put a damper on getting the gear loaded in…!!

Special thanks to The Bobby Showers Band and Down Side Up for having me do the show! Also, I didn’t know there was a waterfall feature at the site…😄

Things that sound guys deal with:
I discovered that the firmware on my newest wireless mics needed to be updated. However, it turns out I had to update them by holding the mic up to the IR sensor in just the right place between the mic and the receiver. The update for each mic (5 of them) was taking 15-20 minutes to update, with me having to hold the mic in just the right spot the entire time for it to work.
Luckily…I found the perfect bungee cable to take care of that!

Finished up the DAS “early summer tour” at the Fulton Street Fair Friday night. Back to normal with an excellent PA and a nice crowd who were not shy regarding “audience participation”!

Saturday was another date on the “Worn Out Sneakers” tour (my name, not the band’s!) for DAS at Rose Park in CoMo. New (to the park) PA in place, EV tops and subs. Combine that with a substantial crowd, and mixing is fun again! 😎

Just some thoughts. Had a sound gig for a private event on a Tuesday night. The description was for a nice big stage, and a PA rig that we could use, that sounded fine as described over the phone. Let’s just say that it was a bit more challenging than I expected.

I’ve heard house sound people dog guest engineers bringing their own console, etc., but when you’re on a random “sound rig of the day”, you will sometimes have trouble making your band sound as good as you can. It can be very frustrating. That said….You STILL have to be courteous, kind to the providers, and deal with the challenges without complaints. If you go all in with “grumpy old sound man”, it doesn’t represent your band very well.

Today’s show was outdoors at the McBaine MKT for Pedaler’s Jamboree. We had a noon start with The Swampweed Cajun Band. I hadn’t done a show with an accordion since Chubby Carrier…which was a LONG time ago! 😆😆
