More Disaster Preps For Musicians

There are so many things that are irreplaceable when the worst happens. In an emergency, you are far more important, any you will always have the memories, so they can be left behind. If you do have the chance to cut down on such things, though, it's best to make a habit of dealing with them on a daily basis.
