This guy is a rude jerk plain and simple. My response would have been "So, you say you only have "one" guitar?" Emphasizing the word "one" by holding up one finger. Can you guess which finger?
Actually I'm impressed with how graciously you handled it. |

Maybe he was afraid of your competition, maybe it was just a bad day or it was his "time of the month". More likely, he is this way all the time and is in the running for the infamous "Jerk of the Year" award.

I saw a show the other night and the professional musician on the stage had three guitars.

"I'm a professional working musician..."
My older brother has lived in central Missouri for the past 20 some years, a place where great sayings grow on trees. One of my favorites is "If you've got to go around telling everybody what you are, you ain't." |

I've had the displeasure to know Pat Dailey, a minor celebrity here (Put-In-Bay's version of Jimmy Buffet, just more attitude and far less talent). The month of February he plays Sloppy Joes all month, during the afternoon, and it's known by his fans as Pat Dailey Days in Key West. Anyway, he was playing about 2:30 or 3:00 in the afternoon, lots of families with kids in there, and the bartender rang his tip bell. Pat stops playing, and points to the bartender, and said "I TOLD YOU WHEN I'M PLAYING YOU DON'T RING THAT F'ING (said the word) BELL!!" Puts his guitar away, and said "Shows over folks. Don't blame me, BLAME THAT F'ING A'HOLE (said the words again) BEHIND THE BAR!", pointing the bartender out. In front of kids and their parents eating lunch. Took his guitar and case and stomped off the stage. Funnily, he was back onstage inside of 10 minutes after speaking with the manager about his contract. BTW, he has a popular song "I won't do Buffet, 'Cause Buffet won't do me" Talk about hubris and ego. Last edited by jaybones; 02-20-2017 at 10:27 PM. |

How many guitars does Jackson Browne use in a concert?

I can't imagine why anyone, who has probably been there and done that no differently than everyone else, would respond in that manner. Tying himself to a professional image, and then in the same breath eschewing it makes no sense whatsoever.

Lots of very famous guitar players have many, many guitars. Some have collections. In fact Very few seem to only hav eone.
This is nothing more than bitter tears of envy. You have. I can't have. I want, therefore I insult you.

There's more to being a professional, at anything, besides just getting paid for it. Nothing like alienating potential client base.

I volunteer at a small nonprofit venue. The acts that get booked are all regional groups who in my estimation work very hard primarily for the love of their craft, not big pay checks. To a person, these folks are great both on and off stage. They spend time talking to folks in the audience before, during and after their performances. They are happy to answer questions, or just shoot the breeze.
