Location: big island | general question: being not generally familiar with generators, do they need to be generating power as we are generating music or do they generally store the power for later use?
i'm just generalizing, but i can just see us trying to generate some good music as they are generating power and i think there would be a "generation gap" in the harmony between the two.
also, general jim would have to see if generators are generally allowed at this park.
jim and i will be meeting on the 6th to check out the facility and our options. the location may change so stay tuned. bottom line is: if we go totally acoustic, that would be okay too. |

Randy and I will scout out an alternative place in the event of inclement weather.
It's too late to stop this train now!

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | I am personally putting in a request with the one in charge of the weather...just a request mind you as the weather here at the house has been varied to say the least...my garden froze on Friday night! Randy, your Proverbs quotation was great and all to true: we place our trust in the places all too often! Therefore. I always carry a big umbrella! :D :eek: :rolleyes: |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | trboy,
your generator will power one amp (If I understand what Honda tells me about it). Musicmike mentioned a Carvin PA system with 6 mikes, etc. I don't kmow if this requires more power than your generator or not. Ok MM, whatcha thinkin?
The parks commission is asking for the size of the generator, I think I will tell them that it will be large enough to light up the Biltmore Estate if needed. "Yes Dear, uh..huh, yes goverment people honey" Well, my lovely wife tells me that may not be such a good idea, something about misinterpreting what "light up" means.
Randy, my mother told me "that Sugar (pronounced shoe-ga) melts in the rain." :eek: |

that's a great old Allman Bros. song (and Govt. Mule). I might be able to play a few of those chords. (but only softly so that no one can hear my mistakes).
Look forward to hearing you play it!

Location: GA USA | Listen to the Govt. Mule version, but the Allman Bros version is good too. I leave out the "damn sure" to make it family friendly.
Also, here is Pieces of April . I do it in A also, but I sing it more like the Dave Loggins version than the Three Dog Night.
Hey, I just thought, while we're on 3DN, me might try Shambala . I haven't tried out these chords yet, being at work. |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | I have talked to Trboy today and he is checking the amp output from his 1000 watt Honda generator. If some you electricity geeks out there could translate watts to amps it would be appreciated.
Phoenix, Thanks for stopping by, I visted your thread @ HFC and it looks to be quite the shindig. Maybe I can come join you next year. (that is a threat by the way). The Hamer Hot sauce :eek: sounds like quite a treat. Y'all have fun now, ya hear!

ALL Honda portable generators have mufflers with USDA qualified spark arrestors, so they're perfect for use in U.S. National Forests.(and PARKS)
And they all allow AC and DC use simultaneously. |
