Dear Abby...

Dear Abby...

I think my wife is cheating on me. I am a working musician and, as
you would expect, travel a lot. I have been noticing strange things
happening when I get home. Her mobile phone rings and she steps
outside to answer it or she says, "I'll call you back later". When I
ask her who called she gets evasive.

Sometimes she goes out with friends but comes home late, getting
dropped off around the corner and walking the rest of the way.
I once picked up the extension while she was on the phone and she got
very angry.

A buddy of mine plays guitar in a band. He told me that my wife and
some guy have been to his gigs.

He wanted to borrow my guitar amp. That's when I got the idea to find
out for myself what was really happening. I said "sure, you can use
my amp but I want to hide behind it and the gig and see if she comes
into the venue and who she comes in with". He agreed.

Saturday night came and I slipped behind my Marshall JCM800 half stack
to get a good view. I could feel the heat coming off the back of the
amp. It was at that moment, crouching down behind the amp, that I
noticed that one of the tubes was not glowing as bright as the other 3.
Is this something I can fix myself or do need to take it to a
technician?

Thanks
Very Concerned.

This is absolutely hysterical - not least because it completely reminds me of my son,
whom, David, you recently met.

Cheers,

Kyle
