I fooled em all one night however, playing in a a place that had beautiful 
purple velvet curtains behind the bandstand, I leaned back on my stool to 
rest 
my back against the wall, and whoomp! fell about five feet down to the ground

And then there was the time Fred Radcliffe, drummer with Lionel Hampton's big 
band, fell rds off the high riser on the bandstand and landed flat on his 
back, stunned. Hamp rushed to him and with no query about Radcliffe's condition, 
excitedly asked him, "Man, do you think you'll be able to make 'Flyin' Home'?"
