I think I have told this before here, but I can't remember where, so I will tell it again. Like yours, at a Nursing Home. My group was playing, and Julia was wandering. In one door, out another. In one, out one. STARING HARD at us, and passing as close to us as she dared between the band and the residents. After about 30 minutes, she walked right up to Dana, our other fidder and did the hard eye contact thing. Dana smiled at her and........

Whang!! Julia knocked the fiddle right out of Dana's hands. I caught the bow, the guitar player caught the fiddle. No one else even missed a beat, just kept playing. Dana smiled at Julia, collected her fiddle and bow and got back in. 3 of us missed 2 bars. Needless to say, we called an aide to come collect Julia, and stay the rest of the evening, and in times to come.
