That's awesome news, and it sounds properly organised.
Well chuffed for you.👍
See, in effect, you own that weird chap at the earlier open mic a favour...
I know very little music theory compared to some, but one thing what I have learned is why the things I learned from learning from recordings and jamming actually work.
I found it a bit like learning a slightly more complex bit of maths that unifies what you we're already familiar with.
This is a myth, BTW.
He failed an entrance exam for Zurich Polytechnic, when he took it two years early, but not the maths. The exam was in French, not a language he excelled in.
As you were.
I have one board - mostly staples and some guests now and again, depending on what I've been building - all with velcro in a ~15 year-old pedalcase and not at all neat !
I don't think I'd ever make up different boards for different gigs, just mix up the one board. Each to their own of course.
Mrs Pooks take on this...
"If you're starting out it's cool, as you're doing a bit if advertising. But if you're established then you should only wear old merch - then you're letting the fans know that you remember when you were good too."
Who knows ? Difficult to fathom, but I don't try and understand people who do weird things like that. I worry it'll rub off, like in The Martian Chronicles where the Martians can catch mental illnessness telepathically.
