This happened to me while playing a gig in Fall River, Ma at a place
called The Reggata.What a very cool place this is,it has a wharf out
back with a bar on it, which overlooks the U.S.S. Massachusetts and the Braga Bridge.Well anyways my band at the time Charlie In The Box (anyone know where this name came from)was playing in between sets of another band Bad Larry, who were friends of the bass player.We were playing outside on the wharf (so cool).I was told not to bring my amp, that I could use their amp.Excellent, less crap to lug, I thought.It turns out they play softer rock (ie, Van Morrison, Chicago etc.) and didn't have any distortion on their amps.When it was time for us to go on,I asked about getting some overdrive on the guitar, not happening.So here I am playing Offspring, AC/DC, Ozzy,Kiss etc. with one lame ass, clangy, chimey guitar.As some of my friends know, one of the biggest parts of playing is the power & attitude, there is nothing like feeling the power of the amp behind you, which we named Rattle The Ball Sack (not trying to be rude, but that is the best way to describe it)So anyways it was just hard to rock but we pulled it off.By the end everything payed off,while we playing a very attractive yummy mommy (keep in mind this was pre-milf days)in her late 30's, early 40's was dancing away in front of me, next thing I know whoop up goes the skirt, she pulled that thing right up and gave Scotty something too smile about & write about so that I can bore you with my story.God I love rock & roll
