While at an OT jam last night, the fella playing guitar to my left got up (the majority of folks sitting on hard plastic chairs) for a break and leaned his instrument against the front part of the seat. Guess what happens next? Yup, out of the corner of my eye I see it starting to fall - couldn't catch it, and a disharmonious sound resulted as guitar met wood deck planks. Ouch. Of course we were between tunes so it seemed that all eyes were on me as I was setting it aright.
I'm a relative newbie to this jam and my initial thoughts were - "I hope they don't think I knocked it over". While I didn't get that vibe from anyone there, it served as a reminder to me to secure my mando whenever I need a stretch...
