I'm back
I don't know what is worse playing live : it's 36 C (100 F) and the sun and my sweat is in my eyes, playing at night when it's cold and I can't move my fingers fast, getting eaten alive by mosquitoes and trying to ignore them (it's worse when they bite the face when on stage) , having the DEET I use for repellent melting the picks and finish off the guitar, or the constant adjustment to guitars because of the cold nights and warm days.

It's all fun though

BTW how is everyone doing?

I take the hot over cold any day! I played a festival last September and when we went on, my hands were so cold! The first 5 or 6 songs I almost had cramp in my hands due to the cold. Luckily once it all heated up, it was one of the gigs of the year!

These are a few choice pics:
