The excitement of electricity. Now, there's a thread title for you. While I've played acoustic instruments all of my life, I play electric guitar with the Messengers (in respect for tradition, and so that I can hear what I'm playing.) Yesterday morning, I plugged in my electric guitar to run through some of the songs, and much to my horror the sound kept cutting off. It must be all those times we've stepped on the guitar cable. So, I had to rush out to a neighboring town and buy another guitar cable. Then when we got to the nursing home, I set up my PA system to discover that two of the four inputs weren't working right. I have a separate amplifier for my guitar but I need three vocal mics. It took a lot of finagling to get three mics working, and they weren't well balanced. So, today I was back out, looking for a portable PA system I can run four mics off of. We have a couple of concerts coming up where I'll need decent sound equipment. Now I know where some of out income tax refund is going...

Not that I have any complaint about the PA system that just went on the fritz. I've had it close to 9 years and it's been lugged half way around the world. And I bought it used...

Think I'll get out my banjo and pick out a tune..

I bet Mozart never had to deal with this..
