foggers Bad song choices at a gig (74* d) RE: Bad song choices at a gig 31 Dec 11


@Don Wise- LOL!

My mum also told a great story from her time working as a hostel receptionist in Coventry during WW2. The organist at the crematorium was ill so my mum's friend who was the cinema organist was asked to step in and play at the funeral of an important local dignitary. He confessed afterwards to Mum that, knowing NO solemn classical or religious music at all, the grieving family and townsfolk had just unwittingly watched the coffin go through the curtains to the tune "Yes We Have No Bananas" played at a moderate pace in a minor key.

When you know how to improvise, you can get away with anything!
