Show last nite was supposed to be at 7.15pm. I arrived at 6.45pm, handed over MD player to Sound man. Explained how to use, handed over cable, quarter inch, song tracks, everything.
7pm, came to me
Sound man: "your MD no sound la".
Me: "how come? I just used it for last night's show."
Sound man : "do you have another MD?"
Me: "yes i do, but i really don't think it's the MD's fault, i think you never jack in properly. Now take the extra MD AND the cable."
7.15pm, came to me again
Sound man : "your MD got sound now (the 1st one). But ah, over the headphone it's very muffled and like cracking"
Me: "cannot be. Yesterday was ok. You got EQ or not"
Sound man: "Got! but cannot do anything, veryy muffled".
7.20pm : client rushing me to perform already
Me : "Go ahead already, no choice, show must go on. You try your best to EQ while on show ok?"
Sound man gave me ridiculous look, like impossible because my MD is so obsolete
Then, first song came on---music perfect, clear, crisp and very very audible.
All the way, music perfect. As usual, I did a great show and everyone happy.
End of show, went to sound man "the music ok what!". He didn't want to reply, just gave a one-kind look , part embarrased, part 'how lian' look as though it was his credit that music went perfectly. No apologies, no thing.
At the end of my complaint, my friend said "you know what you call this people?
(make a guess.....................................)
