A Night to Remember?

A Night to Remember? – I got some donkey droppings in my mailbox today, a touche of sorts from El Burro for my prank on the Blogosphere.

You’ve probably encountered a few talking donkeys during your lifetime, but I doubt you’ve met one who would tell you a story from 1972 involving drugs, rock and roll, Lady Bird (well, sort of) on A Night to Remember: "I think my last band was the LaLa Blues Band or some kinda name like that, and I think the last gig would’ve been that particular New Years Eve Night to Remember in question. It could’ve been in ’72 or ’73 [...] At about that point, I accidentally stepped off the carpet and onto the cement floor. A definite no-no. Instead of holding my Guild Starfire semi-hollowbody with its perfectly aligned 6-strings, I was tightly gripping a surging conveyer of 110 volts of electricity. The voltage hit the acid with a predictable explosion. Somehow, mercifully, the guitar flew out of my hands and landed with a crash of horrible, grating feedback. I was blown off the carpet and landed in back of one of the amplifiers. Ken jumped up and plugged his guitar in as if nothing had happened and I huddled into a quivering mass in the back of the room with electrical discharges firing and mis-firing all through my brain."
