Playing Out
I used to play out a lot. Then I got old and all of my equipment got really heavy. Near the end of my professional music career (I only say that because I had to pay a ton of taxes as a 'musician') I started video recording when I played. Largest crowd I played for was at Cooperstown when OSU played the BSC football game at what is now Chase Field. My guess was about 1500 people. That was fun. No video for that one. Suck.
