I think I am going to take a roadtrip this August with my bandmate and his lady to do some gigs in other towns. We have had our share of ups and downs over the years but have managed to stick together and make some great songs. One problem we had for a while was that my voice is a lot stronger than my bandmates and when he tried to sing he felt like my voice was drowning him out all of the time. It’s kind of like trying to talk with a loud HVAC system running behind you. We solved that issue by lowering the volume on my mic when he wanted to sing a song. We now play in air conditioned bars in the summer and heated clubs in the winter in the ski regions in the north. I want to do a little road trip this August to get away from this town because it gets way too packed with tourists and it is tough to get around town on my bike. The local businesses also get too packed and it is tough to go shopping for food each week in the air conditioned stores. By the time August hits you are so tired of all of the tourists filling the streets that you just want to get away and escape to a quiet place for the month. A lot of the local contractors shut their doors for the whole month of August and head to their climate controlled cabins in the mountains for a month to relax and get some peace.
