Re: forgetting gear
I really hope I don't have repercussions from this but, no I haven't had the experience of forgetting to bring something to a gig but two experiences do stand out.
I got to a gig for sound check after setting up and playing the evening before so everything was there except my in-ears- I had forgot they were still hanging around my neck. The next day, half asleep, I panicked because I didn't see them anywhere… back stage, dressing room, shower, around the kit somewhere. I finally ran up to the car and they had fallen between the seats. But boy was my heart pumping!!
And just recently I went to rehearsal but forgot my stick bag. Thinking I had an extra pair next to the set I didn't bother to turn around. Well, I ended up using butter knives (lightly) as I didn't want to waste more time looking for something. A half hour later my wife shows up and saves the evening!
