Prev: And the losers are:
Next: Is George the only person who contributes equipment, time, and expertise? Or just the only one who brags about it so much?

I put her on a rack behind the soundboard & she stays there. As long as she has her harness & leash on, she knows she can't get away, so she doesn't even try. I have a week of outdoor shows here in Pittsburgh in October. She'll be there with me. She only raised a fuss once, at a loud punk show. She screamed at me all night. -Denny

Some are quite fond of modern jazz. Cool cats ....... ...... Phil

And I felt guilty all night. I tried to cover her ears, but she would have none of that. I figured that since I was mixing the show, I'd have control oner the volume, but the stage volume was out of hand and bright. My Little Buddy actually likes hanging out at the soundboard. And she eats up the attention she gets from the audience. Quite a chick magnet. People I don't even know often ask where my cat is. -Denny
