Do you believe in Happy Accidents?

Or simply Happy Endings?

Not happy accidents, but do believe in
 
 

Can't talk now. I'm slapping a big fill on the end of Spacey's ending, causing the rest of the band to try to anticipate the cymbal crash at the end so we can pile on again. As the last chord dies away, I'll throw a quick floor tom roll on it, just to get in the last word. 
 
This is how some song endings last longer than the songs themselves. 
 
All I know is that, someday, when Bubba meets his end, not only will the average IQ of the human race skyrocket, but many people will be very happy.

I once knew a lead guitarist who had a long standing feud with his rhythm guitarist. The rhythm player had this nervous habit after a song had ended where he would strum this one pattern during the applause after each and every song. It drove the lead player absolutely insane. I went to see them play one time and you could see the tension build on stage as the gig wore on. They'd hit the big ending of a song, cymbal crash, power chord, and all. The sound would fade away and a smattering of applause would wash over the crowd. The rhythm guitarist would strum his little pattern and from the back of the room, I could see a vein pulse on the lead guitarist's forehead. After about the 10th time that this happened, I could hear the lead player (off mic) screaming at him to knock it off. 
 
It was the best part of the show. I looked forward to the time in between songs to watch the drama escalate. Each time, I thought, "This is it. He's going to lose it." Somehow, they managed to finish the show without someone getting the business end of a Strat across the face. 
 
I talked with the lead guitarist afterwards. It took him several hours to cool down and he dissolved the band a few days later. I think of that rhythm guitarist every time I hear a band fail to end a song together. 

I guess the Cajuns started it?
 
Now I might have it wrong- it's been awhile since I did the group thing- but I recall it didn't matter what key the song was in if it was Cajun then after it ended they would hit a C major chord.
 
Maybe that rhythm guitarist was just a Cajun Bubba?? lol

Well, my win 10 cloning effort was no happy accident and no happy ending afterward either.

OTOH, most of my songs have happy accidents in them. Only a few have happy endings, though.

Actually Spacey , they play a IV Chord of the Tonic most of the time,I live in Louisiana and haved played Cajun music and played with cajun musicians. They dont do that ending on every song, but for added tension, LOL.
 
The other thing they do is skip an entire beat somewhere in the song and it will drive a non cajun muso crazy

Thank you. I couldn't remember and I didn't know about the beat skip. :)
