so, Planet Jazz gig on Saturday in a small winery. cool old bldg from the 1860's w high tin ceilings and old plank floor. the floor has about two or three small perfectly round holes about the the size of a silver dollar where we're set up.
as i finish setting up i reach in my pocket to take my keys out. i have about 8 different picks in the same pocket. all these picks are real thick 2.5 to 3.0...most of 'em go for a buck or so. maybe two or three bucks. i do have my fave pick as well. a $12 John Pearse Fast Turtle. i love these picks!
anyway, as i pull my keys out, one of the picks comes out w it and falls right down the hole......i don't even have to look, i already know damn well which pick it is. i check my remaining picks. sure enough, all there EXCEPT the $12 Pearse. of course.
now, this frigging hole is maybe 1 3/4" across. what are the frigging odds of ANY pick falling down it from a height of 4 feet. and then, why THIS pick!
i bet if i stood over the hole and TRIED to drop a pick thru it from that height i couldn't do it!
