From Paul R on 2/18/2012 8:44:27 PM

Last night at the jam I was playing the Les Paul and wandered over to stand by Lorne, our steel guitar player. June, one of our singers (she's really, really good!), was walking toward the back when she tripped over my guitar cord and went flying, face first. She had her old Gibson acoustic guitar in her hand. Fortunately, the guitar wasn't damaged (that I could see), but she really banged her knee. She said she was okay (except for the knee). From now on, I stay on my side, or leave the electric guitar at home. I'm seriously thinking about cutting back on the number of instruments I bring (two guitars, two banjos, and a mandolin).

	Paul R says: 3/4/2012 5:52:23 AM Maybe a warning is in order. June returned on Friday with a rental guitar. She cracked the top of the Gibson and it's in for repairs. She's going to pay &850, but that includes extras, such as a custom-made bridge to replace the existing one (which wasn't damaged). I said I'd contribute towards repairs, but I won't subsidize the extras. It hasn't hurt her voice, though. Sge's still a great singer.
