brommy Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Artificial grass. First couple were too high and I wasn't entirely convinced by the samples on offer. My favourite was after some haggling on the price and the length of the guarantee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite Buddy Guy quote (heard live on stage the first time I saw him play 30+ years ago) is "I'm not playing another damn note until someone brings me a Cognac." Five minutes later, after adding a long extension to his amp cord, he started walking through the club during a solo and ended up walking out the door into the blowing snow at -20C, leaning against the building with his eyes closed while he continued to kill it. One of my favorite performers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
