Dan plays Leader Of The Band at Jones Beach. He forgets the words and the guitar tech gives him the incorrect next line. It should have been "A quiet man of music". I think Dan handled it well. Pretty funny!

  • I too have done it many times! When I got married, I played a song for my new wife during the ceremony. I taped a piece of paper with the lyrics on the side of my guitar so I could look down and cheat. About half way through the song, I looked down at the words, but the lapel of my jacket was covering part of the paper...Not Good! I had to make up a few words real quick and the only people who knew were my wife and me as she knew how the song was suppose to go. Another duh moment!

  • Great story George, a true stolen moment!

  • Aww, poor Dan!! I feel for him, he gets all fidgety on his chair, trying to remember the words!!

    Doesn't matter to me, he can just sit there and smile and strum, with his long hair blowing in the wind, and I'm happy.

  • Every performers nightmare, but loved the way Dan pulled out of it!! He started off just great!!--Wonder what he was thinking to get offtrack, cuz he sure sang this song like a gazillion times!!!LOL!!! Guess he WAS human!!!

    He was probably on autopilot--like when you drive to work then wonder how you got there!! LOL!!!!!

  • nobodts perpect!

  • Precious. Good memories from D.F.

  • @pickerman4 a perfect moment between you and your bride.lovely!

  • She tried to keep playing and her accompanist was like, "WTH???" She started cracking up laughing and they had to start over!

  • Or, like a friend of mine, who was playing a big, huge Mozart piece on her flute when the music stand she was using dumped all her sheet music on the floor! She tried to go on like nothing had happened, play it from memory, but she couldn't. She had to stop and pick it up and she had it in order--so she thought--and started playing again and when she came to the next page, she found, suddenly, that all of her sheet music was placed in random order!

  • How funny! He's probably thinking, "DOH!!!" Dan, wherever you are, don't sweat it! It happens to all us musicians! I know I've done it before, in the middle of music juries, no less! Just skipped a line of music in my flute piece, found a random measure and went on like nothing had happened, even though my accompanist was going, "Where did she go?" We just cracked up laughing later!

  • ..sorry, meant minor goof on "Raven" - not Crow - off his live single CD.
