OK, here's mine. And I'm not making this up!

Years ago when my band Cyderman's Fancy did the Renaissance Faire circuit, the owner (I'll call her Phyllis) came up to me one September day and said "I really like your sound. You have a creative use of dissonance."

The following September, Phyllis strolled up to me and said, "I really like you guys; you're right on the edge of bad taste."

The third year, Phyllis honestly came up to me and said "I don't know what it is I like about you guys . . ."

(I said "Could it be our creative use of dissonance?" and she replied, "That's it!")

We quit after that year.
