About twenty years ago we had the house band gig at the hot spot in town. We had the place packed and had just finished a song halfway through the last set when this guy walks up to the stage. I'm trying to hear him over all the cheering going on while he's going on about how he knows this local keyboard player/singer who's well know in the New Orleans area and was a personel friend of mine. I'm thinking the guys setting himself up to set in with the band. He then goes "I just wanted to tell you, this is the worst band I've ever heard in my life." He turns around, makes his way through the crowd and walks out the door. I was so dumbfounded I just stared at him while he left. Thats stuck with me to this day.....
