Re: SHOCKING!

[Steve Price <sprice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got a eensy-weensy shock when I was playing in my brother's garage band 
about fifteen years ago, and I cussed for an hour quite loudly, and my 
brother (the drummer, back before they miked drums for little gigs) told 
me I was being a wimp.  

Karl the bass player thereafter always would chant "check your polarity, 
check your polarity" like a parrot whenever we set up.  We would start by 
touching guitar (or harp mic) and tapping vocal mics, then we'd tap and 
touch each other, and reverse anything that shocked by flipping the cord 
in the electrical outlet.  

These days all my sound equipment has grounds.  But I try to use 
powerstrips to keep polarity all the same, anyway.  But I have to admit, 
I'm getting in the mood to give the guys in the group a little surprise.  
But I'm basically a coward.
