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.

I used to have a guy on piano, in a piano trio, who used to fall asleep  
while playing solos. This was a guy I hired our of DC and we were on the  road.
 
He filed grievance with the AFM when I fired him.
 
What a character!
