End of an era.

I'm letting go.
Some of you may know I had a mobile disco.
4.2 kilowatts of power, I could play big marquees, open-air stuff in fields, halls and house parties, smoke, mirrors, bubbles, lasers and a light show.
Today I sold two out of three amps, so that's the end of the whole thing.
I wanted to let go; I had had enough of the whole day getting the van loaded, getting there; setting up, playing, then breaking down and getting back in the van, unloading, then getting everything back in the loft....
To play four or five hours takes a whole weekend of work.
So back in the summer I decided to sell some of the gear, so that I couldn't accept any longer a request to do a gig.
I can't sell the lasers, I just can't; so the amps had to go.
But it hurts, it hurts.
I will so miss the ability to be able to say; to anyone, in no matter what venue, when they ask "can you turn it up?" Ohhhh, yesssssss, I can.......until it hurts.....
I know that you have to let go of things sometimes.
But I also know that you don't have to like it.
They're sold, and they won't be replaced.
That part of my life is over.
I'm letting go.
