yes memories. I played in a two man band one night in a bad nearby city, nobody was at the bar, that is until a busload of high schoolers broke down right in front of the bar.

We had an audience, but they were inner city city kids who didnt know rock n roll from coca cola. Started giving us mean faces as if to stop playing, but hey we were workin hard for that 75 bucks!

ahh yes, then there was the time I nearly beat up one guy for acting like a total jerk, he kepts comin over by my foot pedals and stepping on them, the first two times i let it go, the third time it was all on!

Pushed him into the front row...nobody was there. then he got up in my grill and said he'd stick my guitar up my ... Then the resident drunk of the place came over and escorted the guy out, and then he requested My Way by Frank Sinatra! LOL

Cant make this stuff up!
