A funny happened on the way to Las Vegas, or was it HELL!!!!
On January 30 th 2012, The Sam Morrison Band was leaving for a one night gig in Las Vegas . A lot of different variables come into play when it comes to our travel arrangements. From time to time we lease a bus and a driver to take us and our gear to gigs. This gig was only to Las Vegas which is about a five hour drive from my house while pulling the bands trailer and it was for only one night. It didn’t make sense to use the bus for this show so we opted to take two cars. Easy! I’ve pulled the band’s trailer a million times across the country from gig to gig. I’m very meticulous about hooking it up and making sure it is done right. It’s not only a huge responsibility, getting the bands gear to the gig, towing a trailer can be very dangerous if it’s not done right. This day was no exception. I hooked everything up, double checked the ball and receiver, latched the safety chains and had Steve help me check the lights. We were good to go. Sam, Steve, David and I hop
