EQUIPMENT
1977 Schwinn Sportabout. (same bicycle past thirty-five years, all my miles as TBG)
1979 Silver Anniversary Fender Stratocaster (same guitar past thirty years)
Roland MicroCube battery-powered amplifier for the guitar both on and off the bicycle. When off the bicycle I prefer to have it plugged in when possible so the batteries last longer.
small Fender amp used for cheap but adequate microphone
mike stand with clip but no boom.
I use the Fender amp, microphone and mike stand for my vocals when I perform sitting down (not riding on the bicycle). I use the Roland MicroCube amp for the guitar both on and off the bicycle.
