probably a mental slip

I may try to post it up to youtube if folks actually care.

Dave, that's exactly what happened. No broken string would cause a key change. And of course it happened at a moment when the band was otherwise silent, which really make it stand out. I was 11 rows from Richie and could see him fumble and then grab the correct neck. A mental slip, nothing more.
