Though to be fair getting 10 Stick players and their rigs all set to go is a challenge, they showed up late and couldn't get their system working.

By the time I got to go up on-stage I was quite flustered, so all the agita of the moment coupled with the excitement of this new Stick all came out in my piece.
He was seething. All the other ten players were practicing and blithely setting up, while Greg got dumped on as the tech troubleshooter of the night.

Needless to say, I had no time to adjust my appearance, nor had I had a haircut for almost a year...so not the best aesthetics on that front...
Oh I dunno. I kinda like the Beatlesque look.

At one moment early on in the performance Emmett jumped up on stage and turned the snare off on the drums, thereby saving me from that one distraction at least...
You can see Greg giving Em a thumbs up for that assist.
It just goes to show that channeled anger can be great creative motivation. Bravo!
