Some years ago we played an open air gig with a big band.

At 10:15 PM a police car came up behind the stage. We were just playing "Stormy Monday Blues" when one of the cops :cool: came out of the car, stepped up to me, touched my shoulder and asked:

"Are you in charge of the band, sir?"

I kept on playing and said "No, I'm just the bass player."

<B>"That makes you in charge of the band.</B> It's 10:15 right now. Noise limit is 10:00. We'll be back in a couple of minutes, and we'd appreciate the band to finish until then."

That was one cop :D with a profound knowledge of what's going on in a band!

He probably was a bass player....:)

So true.

Right on! He knew what was up.

I think he just knew that it's dangerous to get too close to a drummer while he's playing and guitar players only listen to themself. ;)

Nice. I wish the cops were like that in my area. When we tried to cross an open field to get out of the way of some cars, a cop tried to have us arrested for Truency. Never mind that it is noon on a Saturday.....


Rock on
