Beautiful? Will delightful do?

At our local sing (Wash DC area)... maybe 15 years ago, someone brought Tom Paley around. Most of us hadn't known he was even in town. When my turn came, I did "The Storms Are On the Ocean" on autoharp... after 2 verses, I looked up at Tom, who was sitting directly across from me, holding his fiddle and looking 'ready'... in about 2 seconds I both realized that he had recorded that song and I also had enough sense to nod and give him a fiddle break! He played, I smiled...everyone played and sang the last 2 verses.

Then.... I once cheered up an entire audience at an evening concert after an 'interesting' but WAY too long workshop.... by being totally silly. It was almost Halloween and we were encouraged to wear costumes that night. I wore... a pair of paisley overalls, a checked shirt of many colors which did not match the overalls and a pair of rare wool army arctic boots that made me look like I had size 14 feet.

   I had decided to do the silly song "Good Peanuts", and as I waited at the side I saw an almost empty peanut can on the table... so I took it with me and announced how nice it was they had left me a prop!

   So... the song has verses...each longer than the last... about peanuts, strawberries, soda crackers, wool pants, 'operatic plug hats'
and silver money... and lines are repeated. As I named each item, someone in the audience frantically searched for... and found... some example of each one and ran up and presented me with new props. I ended up with a bag of unshelled peanuts, some strawberries, a box of crackers, someone's jeans, 3-4 hats, and a handful of coins...
   The audience was laughing, pictures were taken... a few folks almost managed to sing along on several choruses and jollity ensued...

Not exactly 'beautiful', but memorable.................
