Thread Name: BS: Your funniest gig anecdote
Subject: RE: BS: Your funniest gig anecdote
I played fiddle at a firewalk wedding ceremony a couple of years ago. I do not recommend combining a firewalk and a nuptial ceremony, with dancing afterwards. You need to have complete concentration to complete a firewalk successfully--and there are just too many "energy distractions" at a wedding. Such as the bride's grandmother wondering what in the Sam Hill is going on here....

The bride and the groom spent the rest of the evening having their feet bathed...we had a great jam but they didn't dance much! (They are still together though, I saw them last month.) The worst afflicted feet belonged to the firewalking "minister", who suffered in private, not apparently much inclined to socialize with the wedding party....
