“Slow death, dadadada, take it easy”
Foghat guitarist dead at 57
WILTON, New Hampshire (AP) — Guitarist Rod Price, founding member of the blues boogie band Foghat, died Tuesday after falling down a stairway at his home, a family friend said. He was 57.
When you deal with musicians you just never know what to expect. Getting paid for your work is an adventure with every client. You have to perform acts of sheer magic sometimes to get what they owe you.
I had a client years ago, very many years ago…. –in fact many years longer than the local statute of limitations :-)– who owed me money. His family owned a sporting goods store in some other state that went belly up. That’s the story I got at least.
The guy had no dough for me, but had some golf gear. So rather than getting the complete shaft I accepted a bunch of golf stuff instead of cash.
You gotta to what you gotta do.

Surprise beer glass modification
At gigs I have fun by hucking drumsticks to my buddies in the audience and catching them when they huck ’em back at me (all while playing).
One time I hucked a stick at this guy by the side of the stage but he never saw it coming. The stick perfectly lopped off the top half of his beer glass without spilling one drop. The guy didn’t even know his glass was broken until he lifted his glass up to take a drink! He had no idea what had happened.
