I played carols from my CD A Simple Christmas for 2 days/8 hours a day at a Christmas store in Fredericksburg, TX once and I remember parents lining up babies in front of me and leaving them while they shopped nearby. It was fun, the babies were mesmerized. I wish I had a picture! I was exhausted, but made over a thousand dollars that weekend-it was wild!
Also got to record in Nashville and Austin. Good times! I was told not to open Willie Nelson's desk drawer when I was in his office as pot would fall out! They weren't kidding.
High School talent show, didn't have my guitar strap so had to put my foot on a chair to stand up and play. Unbeknownst to me, I had a rip in the crotch of my jeans which the footlights hi lighted to great effect. I'm told it looked like a white flag from a distance...
More recently with Shelley Laine, playing her debut single opening for Blake Shelton in an outdoor gig with the sun blaring in my face so hard I could not see the display on the consumer grade keyboard I was playing. I wanted to lower it an octave to hit the bass note I needed, but only moved it 11 steps. The song had a dramatic piano intro, and fortunately I noticed and knew when the band kicked in it would sound awful, so I had to stop and start over. Humiliating! Funnily enough, Shelley does not remember this, but I can't forget that awful feeling... :)
