Years ago with the band in NY were playing monthly dances for a particular group ... one night one of the members comes up to us and says he has a friend who wants to sing ... the guy comes on stage and intros himself as "Lightning Larry" - I still don't know why - then he grabbed our most expensive mic and did a couple of 'Little Richard' songs and during the last one, swung the mic around by the wire, letting more wire out with each revolution ... one of the guys grabbed it just before it was going to slam into the floor ... the following week we went out ant bought the cheapest mic we could find for any future 'guest singers' ... BTW way - "Lightning Larry" only struck us ONCE !!! ...
