[Harp-L] Re: Jam night etiquette

[Michael Easton <diachrome@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The closest I've come to a guitarist unplugging me was a guitarist in  
my set that almost cried to play through the harp players Deluxe Reverb.
Our blues society was buying new amps for the jam and picked 2 for the  
guitarists and 1 for harp players.  Since I play a DR and had a band  
mate that was looking to
sell his I talked the club into buying it for harpers.

The amp he was given was a custom built guitar amp.  He didn't want to  
use it and argued with me for the reissue DR.  I told him I personally  
chose this amp for the harp players and that he had to use the custom.  
After about 2 minutes of hearing him whine I let him have the DR and I  
took the spare vocal mic rather then use the custom.  About the 2nd or  
3rd song in he wanted to sing harmony on a song.
He looked to the mic on our side of the stage and realized I was using  
it for harp.  I  looked at him and shook my head and said, "no  
freaking way are you getting this mic" and laughed at him.
Never saw him at the jam again.
