STRANGE HALLOWEEN GIG

billhudson	Date: November 4, 2005 @ 8:13 AM I think it was somewhere in VT. , it was in Oct. and we were playing another dive in a small town. Halloween was coming up so the owner asks us to do the gig on Halloween along with a rock band. Tim and I would play along with a rock band. We would do a set and then the rock band would play, back and forth. It sounded like a good idea so we booked the date. Who knows, what could happen? It was Halloween So, the night of the gig we all got dressed up in some strange outfits. We got there and yes it was a bit strange. There was a guy dressed up in a beer car, the green man and so on. Tim and I did our set and then took a break. The rock band got jamming and all was cool. As I remembered I was dancing with a girl and I felt someone push hard against me. I was not sure what was going on. Right behind me theses two guys were fighting on the dance floor, hard and fast. Then all of a sudden there was another fight and then another one. So there were 3 groups fighting each other. (Bar room brawl) Now, in a case like this the first thing I do is go for my guitar and put it in the case and stand by it. I use to do it like clockwork. If there is a bar brawl that is where you’d find me. But things even got worse because the band stopped playing (you never stop playing, you talk’em down). So here was the beer can guy fighting with the green man. So it was strange, very strange. Folks, you can’t make this stuff up. All of a sudden this guy who was dress up as a roman centurion got up on stage got a hold of the mike and started talking. Now this guy was smart. And what did he talk about? SEX I mean dirty and low down SEX, funny as hell because it got everyone’s attention. And slowly, very slowly all the fighting started to stop. So if there are any bands out there playing in bands and a fight starts, try talking to them. And if that does not work, then talk about SEX. But what ever you do, don’t stop playing the music. One never knows where it’s going to lead. Music can make this world a better place in such small ways.

billhudson	Date: November 5, 2005 @ 7:12 AM Yes it was bizarre and there are a few of them that I have. The thing is I almost forget them because you want to remember the good ones and forget the bad ones. Still Pickin' B.H.
