Re: [Harp-L] Sit-In Stories

First post after lurking for a week:
 
A long time ago in a place far away I played harp/geetar/sax in a blues  band 
down in Baton Rouge called The Circuit Breakers.  No, you wouldn't get  
Mustang Sally for anything under $500, but Slim Harpo requests were always  free.  
Chuck Berry, too.  Our home bar gig at Phil Brady's would  happen 
once-a-month.  
 
One night this good-looking dude with his equally good-looking friends  
showed up at sat front-and-center in our faces.  The dude, soon to be known  as 
Dennis, came up to me at first break and asked if he could sing a song.  
 
I don't remember what the song was, but he sang it pretty well, typical  
12-bar shuffle in E, rejoined his friends and hung for the next break.  I  went 
down to chat and it turned out he was working in BR on a movie called  
Everybody's All American.  Dennis Quaid then introduced me to his pals  Timothy Hutton, 
Jessica Lange and Misha Barishnicov.  
 
Dennis sat in with us many more times around town that year.  Cool  dude...

Hey gang,

Last Sunday afternoon I  was invited to sit in with
some friends of mine, Tom and Bob Lindsey and  the
"Trouble Brothers" band, for what was purported to
be a "Jam-Party",  according to my e-mail
invitation.

You guys  have any cool/funny sit-in stories?
