I played a jazz club in Madrid 7 nites a week from 1967 to 1971, then
continued on one nite a week for 25 yrs until the club burned down.  One
week before the fire, I told the boss that they should do something
about the electricity connections on the stage.  The fire broke out the
following week on the stage, of course.  To this day, I feel responsible
for having put the idea in his head, even though I can't honestly say it
wasn't really just an accident.   Nevertheless (& adding to my
suspicions!), the owner never collected a cent on the insurance.
