Played a gig at an old mansion style home in one of the historic sections of Providence. The old home use to be a funeral parlor converted to a restaurant. It was a rainy night and I was there in plenty of time to set up. ( was going to play from 6 to 10 PM). One of the waiters said they had a problem on with power on the left wall of the room I played. So, I ran an extension to the other side of the room, plugged in the Bose L1 and it blew a fuse. No problem change the fuse ( what I thought). The housing for the fuse is made of plastic, short story I broke the housing. Still no problem I live a 15 minute drive from the location, so I drove home, picked up the Barbetta 31c. Returned, even though it's now after 6 and the hosts of the party were understanding. But instead of the Barbetta turning on it promptly blew another fuse. OUCH!! Now I have no extra fuses, but that's OK there's a Radio Shack a short drive away, it's raining like crazy and I still have to get back to this former funeral parlor now turned restaurant to start the gig! I get to Radio Shack just before it closes.........the clock is ticking and now it's getting closer to 7 PM. Dam!! Now I can't find where the fuse goes. I'm about to pack it in and tell the hosts, it's not my fault there's faulty power in the building and I've just blown out 2 AMPS and I'm not going to try a 3rd. Meanwhile, the hosts ( a builders association group) has an electrician as a guest. He has trouble finding the fuse receptical on the Barbetta too. But eventually we find it, pop the fuse in take the extension and plug into another outlet on another side of the room and I can start the gig, but by this time it's close to 8 PM. What a disaster. I won't take another gig in that building. Can you say ghost?
