Location: big island | it was at the southern jam. i was playing crimson lake's #47 while seated on a stool. i got up to do something else and, as is my custom at home or gigs, i placed the guitar on the stool, teetering in perfect balance on its rounded back, not giving a second thought that this was someone else's guitar and a #47 at that. i walked away and turned back around to see what all the instant commotion was about. at least four of the guys in attendance had bounded over to "save" the guitar with expressions of utter shock that i could be so careless with such a king's treasure.
i felt like the stuff in the king's outhouse. |

Location: Round Rock, TX | Lord, I've had most of these things happen. Forgotten lyrics, misplaced capos, "wardrobe malfunctions", starting an octave high (and I'm a bass), throat going absolutely dry in the middle of a song - can't do nothin' but croak 'til the end (some folks drop the "'til the end"). I've led accapella services where I remembered the words, but forgot the melody.
One recent one (for you, Brad) was when the band nailed the key change, went smoothly into the accapella chorus and when the instruments came back in, I absolutely nailed the power chord - in the original key. My LP was the lead instrument in that one, so it was way out front in the mix. You could see the jolt physically affect the congregation. It was the last chorus of the closing song. Yeah, that was a good one. |

Location: Marlton, NJ | Thanks Randy... I had pushed that traumatic experience to the depths of my subconsience.
I guess it's back to therapy for me :rolleyes: |
