I had been out of town as a stand-in for week on backing gig and the weekend after I got back, had a gig scheduled where I needed the B, so I went to Flash's to pick it up. It wasn't there ... Flash said he didn't know it wasn't there but would try to find out why it wasn't there ... turned out his son, Jeff, and some of his junkie friends carted it off to the Golden Pawn at 11th and Peoria.
