New Year's Eve Memory

My son asked me about a scar on my chin today. It was about 42 years ago on New Year's Eve. I was setting up for a gig at the Holiday Inn. I played lead and rhythm with a group called Snack. The group included Glenn Hahn who also played rhythm and lead. Glenn was the lead singer. 

Anyway, we were putting the amps and speakers in place when one of them was being lifted when I though we were putting it down. It caught my chin. The speakers were heavy. The amp won. It was bleeding a lot. I taped the wound shut and hoped for the best. We went on about an hour later.(I had a Gibson ES 359 and a Sunn Amp.) 

I have the scar and the memories.
