When I saw the Hendrix experience show here in Lowell last year they had a whole "handing out picks to pretty much anyone " thing right when the show ended. Pretty cool, but I didn't go get one.

When my sister was in college, she got to see a couple good bands because the school had them in.
One trip down to visit she told me she'd seen a band she thought I'd like, and that she'd gotten a pick tossed into the "crowd" of maybe 150!

"I don't remember the name, but you'd like them"
"What songs? "
"If I can't remember the name you think I'd remember a song? "
"Yeah, good point. "
"Oh! there was one thing... the guy had a guitar shaped like a big hand"
" You saw Cheap Trick and didn't remember the name?!"
"Oh, yeah, that's the name. You've heard of them? "

U Conn apparently could book some great bands and hardly draw anyone.
