Yah I can see where that would bum you out, and JErry as well. Jll is a demanding performer that doesn't take a lot of bs, he wants to entertain the audience, that's what he came there for, to give the fans their money's worth. I've read and heard stories about him. ONe I recall hearing was how a guy decided he wasn't going to subject his nice piano to JLL and JLL went in, found na old beat up out of tune upright and kicked it out the door and into a nearby lake, then told the venue's management "now get me a goddamn piano." Friend of mine has done JLL a couple of times and he says JLL is a no bullshit sorto f performer that doesn't have patience with technical problems. HE comes ready to perform, and the tech folks better be up on their game cause Jerry doesn't have time for it <g>> AT leat JErry respects the paying customers, unlike cHuck Berry.
