Embarrassing Moment
To many Embarrassing Moments to list. But,,,
Here's a recent one.
I was to play Drums for a group at a Gig that was about (130+) Miles from home. Gig was in the Middle of a very Rural area with Only (1) Store in Town.
I set up my Drums but couldn't find my Drum Sticks. I had left them at home!
What to do???
I went to the ONLY Store in Town & found some PLASTIC Cooking SPOONS.
Thought what the Heck... Bought them for $2.00 & Went back to where the Gig was....
Tried them out... Hey they worked pretty good... & Made it thru the Night...
Only ones that knew I was playing with PLASTIC SPOONS,,, were the other Band Members, which Laughed all night long about it, Me, & One Guy in the Crowd that wanted to know where I got the
"Funky Drum Sticks".. LOL
I Still carry those Spoons in my Vehicle ALWAYS Just in Case.
Tune in to the Shows & I am sure some more of these "Embarrassing Moments" will be discussed.
My Instrument
My biggest Instrument regret:
Early 1980's, I sold my Original (1) Owner 1972 Fender "Thinline Telecaster" Guitar & Tweed Case that once belonged to a Great Friend of mine.
My Friend was the Lead Guitarist for "Bee Bumble & the Stingers Band". A Very Popular Band in the '60's. Reportedly, the "Beatles" once OPENED FOR THEM while they were in in the U.K. with a #1 Hit Tour.
Anyway, Included in the deal for the Guitar was a Small Peavey P.A. System. I Sold everything for $800 to a "Preacher" that was introduced to me by a "Friend" of mine.
We made the deal and loaded everything up BUT,,
When I asked for the money,
"Preacher" said "Oh, I only have $200 with me today but I can pay you the other $600 in (30) days." I looked to my "Friend & he Vouched for the Guy.
Never saw the Man, my "Friend", Money, or my Gear again!
The Guitar would be Worth A LOT of Money now!
