Just an aside for Danny. I did sound for a while for a band and the leader, the business guy, the guy who owned all the PA and the trailer, was, as is often the case, the weakest player in his own band. Total poser who thought that he could hide his lack of skills (he was the "rhythm" guitar player and could not solo at all) by changing guitar every song. And as he changed them every song, he would stop the band and tune. 2 songs per set would see him pick up his Rickie 12 string, so he had to tune 12 strings instead of 6. And for some strange reason, he tuned 1 to 6, so by the time he tuned the 6th string, the change in neck tension from tuning those thick bottom strings would see his top string out of tune and he started over. Reminds me of the Pete Barbuti bit where he was the 4th trumpet player and couldn't play at all but they couldn't fire him because he owned the station wagon with the luggage rack.
