   <i>...Anything special I should think about in a big band?...</i> The only thing I found was essential was that there was a strong leader who had good overall music knowlegd, knew fairly much what he/she wanted but let you put yourself into it....(more)

   ...ummmm....make that 83 friends. But still, cutting the numbers down ( a lot were giving me grief with spam stuff ) certainly helps. Of those 83, about 1/2 are family.

   I also severely limted the friends as well - cut them down from about 300 to 40 - that saves time.

    Good point Dave. Also check it's not hardware ( handles etc ) coming loose or ratling.

    Going to 4 ohm to "try and get as much watts out of my amp as possible" in the hope to gain more overall volume is a total misnomer. It's the kind of myth that keep TB going. There are a number of factors which make one speaker box sound loude...(more)
