Having played in quite a few bands, one thing I've noticed is that the guy who runs the sound board has a thankless job. When a band feels they sound good, the sound man gets no credit, but if they feel like they sound bad, he gets all of the blame. And the band is at the mercy of the sound man; you would think sound guys would get more respect.
The reason I mention this is that I usually try to keep from being a problem for sound guys. Being an acoustic instrument that uses my own wireless mic is easy to do. But this past Sunday, I wanted to play a special song in church with an accompanimnet track on my computer. I didn't tell them until I got there, which sent them into a frenzy of quick improvisation in hooking up my computer to the sound system. They handled like true pros.
So, next time you have to perform, make sure your sound guy gets extra thanks.
