A musicians worst nightmare.

I only play guitar at home with friends or myself but if it was me i'd of told the truth to the audience , i woulda diverted their anger twords the police then put on some music , pulled out which ever instrument you play thru the board & played the set , wouldnt be much different than a solo jam session at home .

I watched a 17 yr old kid open for Steve Via doing the exact thing & the crowd went nutts , it got him so much attention he got invited to do a set with Zappa & again the audience loved him .

I bought a drumset once shit was difficult, I should have drove down easy street and went with a bass..The best thing about a bass is that the guys usually playing them have
cool.beards.


bassists are also excellent actors.
They usually do. But, not always. I play drums. But, that's because I'm a contributor. Not like those lazy ass bass players... 4 strings pffft.

I always pictured you as a lead guitar with front vocals. See, you totally have the chops for that. Not like those 4 stringers....

I'm best when blazed with a harmonica. The herb lets me feel comfortable to jump right in... I played the freakin accordion and piano for a couple years - That got me good enough to pretend I'm Brian Eno on the keyboard using Apple's Garage Band app.

In your story a Kazoo might come in handy to quell the paid folk.

Getting ready to do a gig.

Bandmates decide to go blaze in the parking lot.

Get busted, go to jail. One guy left who was finishing setting up the gear.

5 min, to show time.

In college my friends were playing at a bar. The rhythm guitar player goes out to smoke in the alley and gets busted the band corners me and tells me I will be playing with them. I go outside and the guitar player is in cuffs. I'm confused, they never give out tickets much less arrest people for smoking. Turns out they were watching the alley for a coke dealer, who was safely inside.

The cops searched the guy, realized he was just another dumb college kid with a half a joint and let him go. I did not have to flail through a bunch of songs I didn't know.
