Re: [Harp-L] The loud drunk guitar player

["Vern Smith" <jevern@xxxxxxx>]

I have the perfect solution for dissatisfaction with your guitar player:

Play your harp on a rack and play your own guitar accompaniment.  The 
guitarist always shows up on time for rehearsal, never covers up your solo, 
never gets drunker than you, stays on the beat, always sets his amp to 
balance with your harp, and cheerfully accepts blame when he screws up.
