Nothing serious here.
I have two jams, Bluegrass circle jam (where I play a lot of clawhammer) on Thursday night, and open mic on Friday night. I help organize both, and set up the sound system and set the mics for individual performers on Friday.
One fellow (let's call him "Duke" - not his real name) showed up on Thursday with yet another one of his fancy Martins. His turn came, he stood up, and ... couldn't get it in tune. No matter what, he'd "tune", and then play a chord and it was still out. It was the G, a semitone sharp. I told him to get out in the hallway. I followed, and finally took his guitar and tuned it.
So Friday comes around and "Duke" (not his real name) is there and its his turn at the mic. We have a little quiet banter to ourselves about his guitar being in tune tonight. As I'm setting the mics for him, our bass player calls out. "Duke" (not his real name), don't you think we should get a better looking roadie? I turned to "Duke" (n.h.r.n.), looked him in the eye and quietly said, "You're not going to answer that, are you?" He nervously answered, "No!"
