And now, no doubt, your audience will expect the pyrotechnics every
time. Something similar happend to Hendrix.
I have been enjoying all the tips and have archived them for future
use.

Yep, that's the idea.
I had a broken fourth fret on my theorbo during a concert with a
singer two (three?) weeks ago. I took the fret out (buzzing!) and
continued the song till the end. I was quite proud of having pulled
that off, but nobody had noticed. Not even the singer or the people on
the front row. For the rets of the programme till the break I picked
up my baroque guitar. During the break I asked for a lighter and gave
a fret tying demonstration (without burning my diapassons). Still
nobody was impressed, they all thought it was part of the show, like
tuning ... ;-)
