Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 28, 2015

At four in the morning, a few miles from Lansing Michigan in January….We ran out of gas, there were three of us….it was 4 degrees….We tries knocking on some doors, but nobody was answering….No traffic, very dark (the back story is that the driver was trying to get to Kalamazoo fro Grand Rapids, but ended up near Lansing….Hey, things happen after gigs.) Anyway,I mentioned to the others, just about the time things were looking the most hopeless, that “If nothing else, this will make a great story someday!” in my most hopeful voice….They were in no mood to hear it, for some reason..Hey,.It really was cold!..Just about the time they were going to strangle me, a car came by, picked us up, got us gas, the guy took us to his house to have a couple beers rolled one and dropped us off back at the car…..We got back to Kazoo at 7:30……And whenever we 3 get together, we talk about that night and laugh……
