I don't know if this has already been addressed. If so, please excuse me.
When I go to a gig (read nursing home usually), I bring a good-size portable music stand, at lease one 2 1/2" to 3" 3-ring binder of songs, and my uke. I usually have the stand in a separate bag and the songbook in another bag. My uke is sometimes in the songbook bag or, depending on which one I bring, just in it's own case.
My friend has a roller bag or a portable hand truck! Fortunately, we do most of our gigs acoustically (read un-plugged). If I have to bring amplification, I usually bring a microcube with its attended accessories.
So, how do you carry your stuff around? And WHAT do you generally have to have with you "at all times"? (uke-speaking only)
I'm still songbook bound so I have to have a songbook with me, then a stand is helpful.
