Crabwalk: Difference between revisions

In 1996 [[Mark Eitzel]]'s sister Rene told the ''Firefly'' mailing list that, "A long time ago I met up with Mark and AMC in a tiny club in Newport, Kentucky. Including me and my husband, there was probably six people in the whole place (seven if you count the bartender). One of the 'listeners' was a very drunk older gentleman who had a fascination with [[Vudi]]. During most of the gig, this man crossed the club staggering sideways (doing the 'crabwalk') between [[Vudi]] and the jukebox. When he wasn't trying to play [[Vudi]]'s guitar or talk to him about his own hugely expensive country guitar, he was trying to drown out the music played by AMC by pouring quarters in the jukebox. He never realized that the jukebox was unplugged. Perhaps this caused him to drink more? Another guy at the club stood directly in front of Mark the entire time trying to get the band to play some heavy metal tunes. This tune 'Crabwalk' has its origins in this club in Newport. This evening was not one of AMC's finest but we had a great time talking about it for the next few days with the band."
