I've told this before but...

We were a 5-piece (Two Hunkavars (Squeeze Boxes); Lead Guitar; Rhythm Guitar; and Drums) Standards Band and we had a New Years Eve gig at a nice venue, a very popular lounge in Virginia, Minnesota.

We were booked to play from 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM to usher in the new year, but by 11:00 PM the crowd was already well-oiled and trying to pour drinks down the band's members throats and, in the process, all over our instruments.

We had already been paid so we announced a short break, packed up our gear, stuffed the jukebox, and made a hasty exit.
