Thread Name: Balboa Park Jam. Another one?

Embarrassing?

In 1980 I was working in a top 40s country band as a pedal steel player. My amp wasn't polarized with the sound system and I didn't realize it. It was time to introduce the band and that job fell on me. I reached for the mike and placed it near my lips and ZAP! A big blue spark flew from the mike to my lips and I yelled F**K! as loud as I could into the mike. Every head in the church turned, we were playing a barbecue that The Lady of "What Ever it Was" in Descanco, CA. throws every year. We played that evening and after playing that gig for five years we were never asked back.
