I was READY....We had even done a sort of 'sound check' on the banjo...'Old Joe Clark'. Kat said it sounded good. Then my youngest who borrowed my truck earlier chose THAT PARTICULAR TIME to return it and of course needed a ride home. I had to stop what I was doing, told all I would be back soon. When I got back I fired up my pewter again....AND then...after spending the better part of Sunday afternoon getting my new sound card and mike to working just right....The damn monitor takes a dump!!!! I'm working now on a monitor I borrowed from my pewter guru....I'd be lost without him...Hope all goes well for next week.
