There was a Tweet I sent out earlier that said there was a bad sound that ended the gig, the sound you get when you try to land an aircraft without putting the wheels down. There was nothing for it but to stop but this fortunately didn't happen until after I'd been playing over an hour anyway. I was all set to keep going ... but then the plane crashed.
Just a brief explanation: the problem was caused by a dirty slider on the mixer. Always cover your gear with a cloth of some kind when you won't be using it as this will help keep the dust out.
After wiggling the slider a bit, the connection is largely restored. I've toyed with the idea of taking the mixer apart to clean it but that would be a monumental bitch.
This audio problem was an example of an SMF (Spontaneous Machine Fault). I was nowhere near the mixer when the audio went bad. I did not touch it. I did not even look at it. However, a slider on that mixer magically changed itself and the plane crashed. Do not ever think machines like us. They don't.
There was a tune of some unknown substance in the gig but it felt like a Cat groove as I was in it and that really went flying. I knew she would know that I was onto it and that I hadn't done it before so that added a very special ingredient. I'll review the recording later and hopefully have something to upload.
