Subject: RE: BS: You know you're almost famous when...
My wife and I get a lot of misidentification on the art show circuit. I don't know how many times someone's said something like, "Oh! I remember seeing your pottery in Key West..." or Wichita or someplace else where we've never even been, much less exhibited.
Well, I guess it's understandable considering that everybody's pots have certain elements in common - they tend to be round, hard and colorful. And the number of old-hippie husband/wife teams on the show circuit is far from small.
But it is nice when someone actually does recognize our work from another show and comments on it. It's even nicer when they buy it.
Never had anything similar happen music-wise, though I have had people recognize me from bands that have been disbanded for years or even from one-time sit-ins that I had forgotten about.
