I always have to take out my wallet before I play, because I start to get a cramp in my butt and that sucks. I just pop my wallet in the pocket on my stick bag right before I sit down. That way, its not backstage , where someone could steal it.. and I still always know where it is.. great tip if you are touring and you don't want to be on the road and lose all your cash and credit cards!! (happened once, wont happen again)
