Mechanical difficulties happen - ask any performer (or member of a "bar
band"). It's happened to me plenty of times during my "bar band" days. Never
got booed for those kinds of difficulties - as long as the fix took less
than 15 minutes. Teaches you to be pretty good with tools!

Have had bottles thrown at me (well, the band, anyway) in C & W bars. Prefer
booing by a long shot :^)

Cheers,
