    What type of shows?

    Live music , touring bands mostly but some symphony and festival  gigs when I was associated with a regional sound co.. From Bach to Big Hair Metal to poetry readings .. Whatever the booking people could find ,  to the phone ringing all the time...once I got my mojo clues sussed. Tron background , designing speaker enclosures got my foot in the door.  Truly a dream job for me !  Then I did the pirate ship captain thing ,,,well at a theme park .Different kinda show but a show fer sure arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr matey !

  2. Oh ayuh !

    There's gold in Maine , mostly up in the western high country .   There was even a state park where they taught panning. back when I was in my 20s . Mt.Blue SP ~10k acres up by Tumbledown Mtn. area     They discontinued the panning program quite a while back....the State Park is still there though.

    And Sugarloaf Mtn. area  .  I read an old book from the early 1900s that described all the areas but can't remember much of it now  Almost all in rivers and streams , but coming out of those mtn systems. (lost the maps I made from it in a fire . arrrrrrrrgh) 

     I was researching it 50+ years ago. Panning only , no detector back then. Didn't find anything but also was pretty green . I did shows at most of the NE ski areas a lot but mostly winter time , got up there a little in summer but doing shows then too so time was limited even if it was a summer show  . I really didn't want to travel much on the few days off I had....maybe 3 a month.  Touring is pretty much a 24/7 gig. counting sleep , if any.

    C'mon up ! Might want to wait till June though....15*f tonight 25* high tomorrow...the ground , she very hard yup yup !

    My staff WIZ found a control that blocks posting links for the first # ? posts. We picked 10 . This has been quite effective ... lazy spammers !

    Maybe you have this control ?

    As to why the amount of spammers appearing lately ..my theory is.

    They come in waves...so things happening globally is my guess. ?

    EX; Lots of application emails ending in .ru since the war started over there. I call it "desperation spam" , Surprisingly none from Ukraine .. (I'm NOT trying to start a political commentary here , "just the facts Mam ! "

     

    I also have an alter ego mod.   I call him IDGARA the Impaler Mod. 

    I like him but spammers probably wish he didn't take out the purge button so quickly..

    Skuh kuh kuh kuh

    If you and Chase are having trouble keeping up , I'm on east coast DST  IDGARA the Impaler Mod is available (but supplies are limited , ONLY 1 left ! Order soon.)🥸
