| What do/did you do for a living? This hobby of ours certainly encourages "champagne taste on a beer budget." As many previous posters have attested, this can be accomplished if you buy smartly, whether that be used equipment or new equipment purchased thru industry sources. Count... | |
| Companies that repair/refinish speaker cabinets? Insurance companies usually prefer paying to "repair" an item instead of replacing it. If your adjuster cannot help with this, ask him for a referral to a good "restoration company" (Servpro, Servicemaster, etc). They should be able to help you, e... | |

| is this the greatest live band of all time? This has been a great thread and I hope it continues.I also hope that everyone has signed the petitions that are going around from either: "National Independent Venues Association" (NIVA) or "Save Our Stages."
