RE: GEAR LUST and CREATIVITY



I think this previous post might be pertinent--
http://www.loopers-delight.com/LDarchive/200008/msg00392.html
It certainly was an attempt to carry on with a performance under difficult
circumstances--but in retrospect it would have been best if I hadn't told
anybody I was performing without certain "essential" items!

I've heard similar stories about Segovia & Julian
Bream - breaking a guitar string & carrying on as if
nothing had happened. I've read that Paganini would
break violin strings on purpose during a performance
for dramatic effect.

I'm afraid that my response would be to curl up in
a fetal position for 15 minutes & then thank the
audience for attending tonight's exhibition of
"performance art".
