Nightmare Gig Ends in Court

[Munjibunga]

We had a gig at a private party about 20 years ago, and when we showed up at the venue (an old house out in the sticks), who made up the audience? Bikers. No, not the 50-year-old yuppies with their dressed-out hogs, but Hell's Angels, many in full colors. As we drove the van up the long dirt driveway, my brother and I were trying to figure out some way to ditch the gig ... but no way. So, sure enough, as we open the van to unload, this HUGE, bearded Mongo kinda guy walks up and says, "If anybody f***s with you, his a$$ is mine." End of worries. One of the most fun gigs we ever did. We just had to be careful not to step on the guys passed out lying in the driveway. The bikers loaded and unloaded everything, and nothing was missing when we got home. Go figure.

Down here in South Lousiana there are only a few Redneck jokes, the rest of them are true!!!!

Munjibunga, as a former patch holder in an MC I kind of took a little offense to your "go figure" at the end of your post. In my experiences dealing with clubs, a band is hired because they like your music and they want their party to be a good time. They will do whatever they can to make your job easier to do so their guests can party. I have never had problems with an MC stiffing a band like I have been stiffed by "civilians".

No reprimand intended here, just my thoughts on the subject.

It was kinda like we were in protective custody. It was a general "go figure" that, while it included the no missing gear comment, it also referred to the overall scene.

Now, when we played the Sigma Chi ball at the Gene Autry Hotel over in Palm Springs, some rat bastrich stole our pitch pipe. That's right, electronic tuners were not generally available, and we needed an "E." Soooaaahhh, any Sigma Chi patch holders out there?
