	I saw David Bromberg and his quintet perform recently in Cambridge.  
After his first few songs, he explained that he was playing a borrowed guitar 
because "the airlines ate my other guitar."  If these accidents happen so 
frequently, I wonder how professional musicians, who travel a lot between 
gigs, transport their prized, in some cases irreplaceable, instruments.  
During the first few songs Bromberg seemed a bit uncomfortable with the
borrowed guitar.  He had been using his eaten guitar for a long time,
hopefully it was only tasted, not digested.

	"... and a hundred thousand million billion years after that
		before I will be your fool"
