Since I live in the same area, I've had several wet setups as well. As for the extra notes, Aren't those called jazz??? It's all improvisation.

Stay dry,

Joe

Once upon a time when Knights were bold and toilets were uninvented...Whoops wrong storyxxxx Once upon a timeI was playing somewhere my love, the note for love got a half step high, and there was a giggle in the audience, so for the rest of the song, at the end of each line I played a half note high,(and hammered it), the audience loved it and got requests to do it again.....Go figure...Try it, sounds great. I know "Gary" you've been playing it that way for years......Pose

Nigel:

I think my most embarrasing one was Playing the guitar for a large loaded dance floor in the late 70's I was whaling away and singing "That's the way I like it HA HA Ha Ha" broke a little E string, it popped and went around the neck,"twice" keep going, trying to clear the string while still singing, strap came off the butt of the guitar, and I dropped the pick, finished the song and got a standing ovation for the crowd.

That's when I discovered strap locks.....Pose

As Nigel says, if you make a little mistake just ignore it. They aren't listening that closely.
If you make a BIG mistake, I make an announcement at the end of the song:
"Sometime during the evening you may THINK you hear me make a mistake. It's true. I like to please everyone and some people are always looking for something wrong, so I will throw in an INTENTIONAL mistake so that I'm sure I please everyone."

Confucious Say: "The success of an entertainer-musician is measured not only by his ability to play the right notes, but on his ability to successfully 'cover up' the mistakes as well."
