Band escapades

In the mid 90’s we recorded a bunch of songs and the CD was titled When the Fat Lady Sings.

None of us in the band could disclose where the title had really been obtained.

The uncle of our drummer, also played drums and toured in Germany about 10-15 years earlier.

One day, John (uncle John as he we known, as Mrs AR was in a trio with him and a keyboard player when we first met) and his band were in a bar in Germany.

It was a long narrow room, with a bar that ran down one side and a stage on the opposite side.

To call it a stage was stretching things as it was more like a shelf, with curtains behind it.

Anyway the curtains opened and a lady dressed as an opera singer appeared on the stage. She was wearing a big fancy dress and a helmet with cow horns on it. Think of an Opera singer wearing Viking helmet.

The lady did a bunch of warbling and as she did, she operated a drawstring at the side of her dress, causing the hem to rise up to her waist, to reveal a short male person standing between her legs, pleasuring a part of her female anatomy with his whole hand.

The CD cover for our recording had:

Watch for the dwarf

as a foot note :eek:

Sounds like one crazy bar. That would probably cost you a pretty high cover charge here in the US to get into a place like that. :) lol

I have a number of stories but this one still is the one that I think of first when I am remembering things that happened at gigs.

We were playing this place that is a restaurant that has bands there on the weekends. During one of our songs a woman walks over to a bar stool that is straight out across the dance floor from the band and pulls it to the side of the small bar there. She then proceeded to set on the front edge of it and started pulling her dress up her legs. She pulled it all the way up to her waist and then opened her legs to show us that she had no panties on. The bass player and I both saw it right away. Our wives were both there too. The singer didn't see it.

When we finished the song the bass player and I turned around and faced the drummer. The singer turned around as well because he thought we may be playing a song that wasn't the next on the list. I told him to pull his mic down so what I said wouldn't go out on the PA. I told him that when we start the next song to look where the bar in front of us was on the left side. We started the song and he looked over there and saw her in all of her glory and got tongue tied and started tripping over the words of the song and could hardly get the words out. The rest of us started laughing at him. She stayed like that for about three songs. I think that was the best gig of his life.

This is just hysterical.
 
When I was playing a party gig. I got really dressed for the gig in my finest gig apparel, red leather etc.

I spied this guy as soon as I walked into the place. He wouldn’t stop watching me and what I was doing. Later on my hubby and son would be there to support me.

Anyhow this guy is standing right in front of me while I was playing. I was flattered at first and then got annoyed when he leaned into my ear and his words shocked me. He was trying to tell me how anatomically correct he was. I am being very polite in my description.

Took a break to get some food and a drink. My husband and son were late to the party they finally showed up. I told them about this annoying guy and what he said to me. I let this dude stand right in front of me. My husband an son were right behind him. He kept on asking me to go for a drink with him while I was playing. I nodded to my husband and son that this was the guy. Hubby and son are big guys. They both escorted him away from and got security involved.

That’s not all. When I was at rehearsal downtown weeks later guess who the guy was next to me. Him!!
I think he asked me out 20 times on the spot.I am married I told him. He said he didn’t care. I txt my son to come and help me get my equipment and SAVE me. This guy took one look at my son and walked away. My son had to verbally threatened and tell him to leave me alone . Ready to call 911.

Oh, if we are going with ones that were almost fights, I have those too. I have a good one about my wife almost starting one with a guy twice my size that I may tell when I get time to type it up. That was an interesting night.
