A true story. Don't believe in blind testing?

This is a true story.

I was at the Chicago Blues Fest yesterday. I was listening
to Mary Lane’s
Blues All Stars at the Gibson Crossroads stage. This year I guess Gibson
(guitars) decided to put their touring gallery trailer near their sponsored stage
as it used to be in the center of the Fest with other retail type sponsors.

I was standing about 50 yards from the stage, the sound
booth was about half way between me and the stage. Every time the music stopped
between songs, I heard some annoying sound coming from behind me off to the
right. I glanced back and saw a music video playing on a TV by the entry to the
trailer guitar display gallery. I thought “What are they doing trying to play
that TV sound outside near a live stage with sound reinforcement?” When the
music started playing you couldn’t hear it as it was drowned out. After about
the third song finishes I’m thinking “Damn, that’s annoying and it sounds like
$#!T.” (not the band ~ but the TV/video sound that (thankfully) kept getting
drowned out.

EDIT sorry, wrong pic -this is the stage. apparently I can't upload two pics to the same post

So Arto, how did the story end? Did you reach in your back pocket, pull out spare pair of LaScalas and plug them in.

Of course, when the sound came forth, the folks abandoned the stage, gathered around the video and low and behold the Kingdom Of Gibson sold 65,000 guitars in one day. They were so grateful you are right now winging your way by private jet for a summer of fun on the French Riveria.

So now their ads can read

"In addtion to room filling sound, we now provide venue filling sound, as long as the primary act isn't playing"
