This is Lynn reporting semi live from….what am I saying! I’ve been around that guy too long. The following report was pulled from the ashes….you’ll see.
Ace Essay here reporting semi live from some club (can’t tell you) in St. Louis, a little poorer and a hand that is bruised but none the less ready to complete my undercover blues. With me is my groupie Lynn, actually she’s out front in the audience sitting at a table eating something spicy and drinking an adult beverage.
I’m wearing an undercover wire so as not to give myself away while I meander backstage mingling with the blue musicians, or is that the blues’ musician? I have to say you can feel the excitement in the air as these guys hang out waiting to get ready to perform. Oh someone is approaching looks like he wants to speak to me.
“You harmonica man”
“Me? Oh Yeah me, I am the harmonica man. What’s shaken man?
“What? You play the harmonica right?”
“Sure do”
“Great we need you to sit in for Jerome”
“Sure where do you want me to sit, over there?”
“Funny. We’re on in 5”
“Oh.. Oh! Wait a minute I can’t..Ah I don’t what you’re playing”
“Funny yeah your funny just jump in man it’s all the same...come on lets get ready”
Psst folks… Ace here I’m heading onto the stage, not sure what’s going to happen but it’s kind of cool up here.
Music playing….
“Hey harmonica man jump in”
“Ok in 3, 2, 1 and”…..squawk…squawk…squawk
Music playing…….suddenly stopping…..silence except for the squawking of the harmonica
People booing, a bottle crashes on stage, then a chair…then Ace flying through the air off the stage onto a table. Wrong table! As drinks and crawdads spill on a very big guy, who then lunges for Ace but misses.
Ace running towards the door but crashes into a waiter carrying a flaming cherries jubilee! Said jubilee flies across the room into the bar……whoosh…end of tape.
Lynn here and just for the record it was a very mild adult drink. As for Ace well the man can run, so standing in this is Lynn saying until next time.
