Well, I had been asked to bring a blues band for a Friday night gig at a local winebar. They pay well and have a great crowd first Friday of every month. I know most all of the folks attending and everyone was excited to hear us as my main man, guitar and singer who is as good a blues man as I have ever known, was going to perform. I got the equipment all set up, returned at the appointed time for a sound check. No one. Well, a great crowd, but no musicians! A while later he showed ukp, drunker than a bicycle. Incoherent drunk, unable to enunciate drunk. I tried valiantly to get him sobered, but he is a late stage alcoholic and unable sober for many hours. Luckily another friend happened by and filled in and did a great job of saving the evening, but I suffered for about an hour trying to salvage some kind of music with my inebriated friend. Tell me your nightmare stories.
