Good on you my man Darren. Being on the road is hell. Since I'm doing "Solo/One-man-band" stuff now, that means I am the driver, the roadie and the performer.
today it took me 70 in to drive 21 mi. 😱
Almost 2 HOURS to get back.

The gig was from 4-5 pm, I left my apartment at 2:10 got there MUCH later than I would normally have (I allow an hour to set up, catch my breath, take care of any gremlins) the basically the same afterwards.
I wish you all the best @darrenclaxton
