the following: If you're standing, ditch the stand; if you're sitting, stand. Ol' 8 eyes has some very nice, old-school, fancy stands that I dig. If I had one (and I'd like one), I'd use it for sitting gigs. I dig the mood it sets. If that seems like too reasonable of a position, feel free

monitors is like trying to stand inside a 55 gallon drum and blend. Hartford used to play with no monitors. For the entire time I worked with him, he NEVER used monitors. He'd even make the sound men remove the monitors from the stage or he wouldn't play. He said it was important for people to see
