This is the GOOD part of hotel living. Waking up to breakfast. After this, I confer with Billy what our set list will be for Bonaroo which we play in two days. Josie is already on email detail for tonight's meet and greet and guest list.

I can usually find out what today's gig looks like by looking at my head of merchandise guy, Eddie's Facebook, ha ha. Lo and behold here is today's show. Ok, outdoors. That means absolutely no reverb in the room, so i usually have my monitor guy tweak my wedges to give me some sense of space. Yes I'm still old school, not on in ears. I have tried them, but for a rock and roll geetar player that only sings on one tune, I prefer hearing the stage. I have a 3 cab wet-dry-wet guitar rig, but only my center dry is onstage behind me. This keeps stage volumes down. I get my complete guitar mix in 2 stereo wedges at my feet. Those have a bit of drums, Billy Idol's vocal, and all my guitars, including all acoustics & Roland guitar synth.

Before showering and leaving the hotel, I do some ironing. I actually don’t mind ironing, almost like meditating for me. It can be trying when the hotel iron is crappy though. This one, not too bad…..a lil’ leaky.

Arrived at show. A chance to go over guitars and make sure everything is cool. I am playing my Knaggs signature guitar this tour. Actually 3 different Knaggs guitars. All stunning.

Another picture of my rack of guitars for the gig tonight!

My wife Josie and her folks just before show time.

Hey, when ya gotta go... ya gotta go.

Two songs into the set, it is revealed to me that the 3 large structures on the left are prison cels and the guys do watch the show. Should have rehearsed some Johnny Cash.

My utility tray with essentials. Gum, Slide, Picks, and my trusty Rebel Yell solo raygun.

After a long day, we are back on the road with Josie fillin the bus tank with petrol.
