Another one of my favorite celeb meets was Rick Emmett. At Banannas at large in Ca. There were only a couple of guys in the store and he was just hangin' out like any other goofball. Super nice guy. The kind of guy that might get stuck holding a door at a resturant because no one else takes it from him.

Hah! one of my favorite gags. When I go to a restaurant, and it is one of them where the kid at hostess stand opens the doors for you, I always reach in my pocket and grab a dime or quarter and hand it to them. "Always tip the doorman." They usually look baffled. Cheap fun for a quarter.Education is what you're left with after you have forgotten what you have learned.Comment

No problems with the amp during the set. I'm still running it on the same winged-c weeks after the gig also. The tubes are almost flat though. There's a little extra flub in the bass and I'm loosing that viagara-like virility of a newer set of tubes.
I don't like to play tubes until absolute death like many people, who are probably unaware of their impending death. As soon as the distortion gets a little funky and rebiasing doesn't help I replace the tubes.
I almost wonder if something else is at play with the distortion I'm hearing. Possibly leaky coupling caps? I haven't replaced any of the old blue tubular caps in this amp. Not that I'd want to.
Sigh... I just have too many projects these days. No time to look into these things at the moment.Comment
