[Dixielandjazz] Sleep deprivation

[Jon Stutler]

I remember a story told about Bix.  The fellow next to him in the trumpet section on one of the bands supposedly had a note in his music about 8 bars ahead of Bix's solo that said, "Wake up Bix!"  I'm not sure of the authenticity of the account, nor if the note appeared before every Bix solo.

I recently observed a situation with a very exhausted musician on the verge of falling
asleep during a late night performance.  Wondering if the long experienced musicians
on this list have any interesting stories to tell about players falling asleep while taking
a solo during a performance.
