You know, and I was running away from my flaming car with my bass, it occurred to me that some members of the orchestra I was playing with that evening could be caught in the massive traffic jam that I had just caused. Sure enough, the next night someone came up to me and said, "Hey, I SAW you, man!" That freeway was the easiest route back from Indiana to Chicago, and most people in the orchestra lived in metro Chicago. I wonder what I would have thought if I looked out the window and saw some guy running past me with a bass in the middle of the night while screaming....
