Matt Munisteri: I had to steal a guitar back from airport employees who were stealing it from me, and I had to do that by sneaking out on the tarmac through a back door. It was just pre 9/11, coming back from a gig in Portugal. 9/11 really changed things. Prior to that, guitars really would disappear. I know Frizzell lost guitars, at least one. I know Brian Setzer lost guitars. In the 90s, things were sort of vanishing, so this was in early 2000 or late 99, I can't remember. But yeah, these airport employees kept telling me that it wasn't there. And finally I peeked through a window and the guy was telling me it wasn't there and telling me to go home at whatever, 2, 3 in the morning.I looked and my guitar was right next to him. So I waited until I watched him walk away. And then I slid under a garage door that led out to the tarmac from the luggage area, from the luggage carousels. I stole my guitar back.George Cole: Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Hot Jazz Network Podcast.
