Re: OT rant from hell (was: AirFX)



Why not tour with one roadie who can tune a guitar off stage whil she has 
one
guitar in her hands and a spare in a stand right next to her.  Three 
guitars -
all acoustic.  The roadie can't be THAT expensive, making touring 
unprofitable?
Unless Joni is playing exclusively at 100-seat clubs like Godfrey Daniels 
in
Bethlehem, PA?
