[Dixielandjazz] sleep deprived

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

I am too.  That could be the reason she never married me.  Needless to say 
it's never happened since or else I would be dead.  I still think about it 
every so often though.  One time I was on tour with the AF band and I was 
riding to Wisconsin with one of the guys and I was driving while the other 
guy slept.  He suddenly came awake, screamed and grabbed the wheel from me 
and we almost bought it then.  The guy was a weight lifter and a whole lot 
stronger than I.  fortunately he pulled the wheel to the right.  We were 
very lucky that it was the middle of the night and nothing was coming the 
other way or some friendly bridge abutment wasn't handy.  I rode with 
someone else after that.

  When I was in college we traveled sometimes 250 miles to play a gig
and would drive home after playing. One night we were coming home and I
was driving and fell asleep at the wheel. The female bass player that
was sitting by me just reached over and steered the car for about 8
miles till I woke up. The passing street lights as we came into the
city woke me up
