Hidden surprises...

We have a ton of equipment... as I'm sure you do. We have enough 'extra' stuff that should everything we use blow up we could completely setup with spare stuff.

Back in the day we used to party pretty heavy while playing. A few years ago our bass player's amp went out, while setting up.... and I had somehow grabbed my 'backup' drumstick bag. Rick, our bass player, was setting up his backup amp when he suddenly shouted out, "Hey, look at this". He had found a bottle of Crown Royal in the back of his spare amp. We laughed, told him, "Hey, pass that around". Later that same gig I broke a stick and while digging thru my spare drumstick bag made an amazing discovery. You guessed right, another bottle of Crown Royal. We had to ask ourselves, "Did we actually drink that much back then?"

Those bottles of Crown Royal we figured had to be 20 years old. No telling what's still waiting to be discovered in some of that old spare equipment.
