Thread Name: Clock-watching during performance
Subject: RE: Clock-watching during performance
Jeesus, I started turning my watch "inside" about thirty years ago, and I've rarely noticed anyone else doing it....just goes to show that I don't look at wrists. (look at a lot of fingers though, while stealing chords!)

Many years ago at a place called Steel's Tavern in Toronto, a guy came up to me after a set and said, "I noticed your watch"....you ARE gay, aren't you? "Duh....no" says I. Didn't know that at the time (and in that area) it was a 'signal'. Always thought you had to have some kind of handkerchief sticking out of your left (or right) back pocket.

Cheers

Rick
