Totally O/T, but Real Life Humor

Hi All,

I’m a player who for the past 42 years or so, likes to play for local dances doing a solo thing; I know this is totally off topic, will bore most of you to tears and I probably shouldn’t even be posting it here, but this happened to me last night and I found it funny.

Apologies in advance for bringing it here uninvited.

So, here I am last night playin' this huge function & the place is absolutely packed; it’s standing room only and there’s not an open seat in the house. At about 10:30, I get a request from this gal to play the "Flyin' Dutchman".

Okay, I haven't played this goofy thing in probably 30 years, but what the heck, I’m game for it & I'll give 'er a go.

I'm two measures into this crazy tune and here comes this somewhat “home-spun” dude with a certified, bone-fide, double digit, room-temperature IQ up and onto the stage. He goes around behind me and is watching my gear trying to figure out how it all works.

All he sees is one blinking red light and just can't seem to mentally digest the whole darned process. He just can't grasp the 'handle of understanding' concerning the overall setup.

Hurmph! I can believe that.

Now understand, I've got 60 to 80 people in front of me on the dance floor plus another 75 or so still sittin’ in the audience; they all are clapin', screamin', just plain goin' wild and I'm crankin'. I mean, I'm spittin' this thing out like I've been playin' it nightly since the day before forever. It's flat goin' down. We’re jammin’ Baby!

Anyway, while I’m a cookin’ on this tune like Mom’s new dinner soup, Dumber than a spare tire leans over my left shoulder and wants me to explain to him just how I can make this thing play the backup sounds behind me like this; and they sound so real and life-like! He's has just never seen or heard anything like it before.

Well, I'll be darned.

Now, why do I immediately & with a sudden knee-jerk, speed of a steel trap, gut reaction instantly believe his statement? Hmmmmm….

I’ve always suspected this phenomenon, but I'm certain of it now, and now more than ever before, that someone, somewhere, in days long gone by, did indeed have relations with the Great American Bison in some certain remote instances. :>)
