Thread Name: Requests from the Audience
Subject: RE: Requests from the Audience
During a gig with the last bit of a band I played in, for only a very short while, the leader and accordian player said. "Any requests?" (It was a ceilidh band who played for local dances) One of the regular dancers replied."Swedish masquerade," a dance we played every week. "Oh" said the accordian player, "We can't do that I haven't got the music". "Any other requests?" Said the drummer."Strip the willow" came a response. "Sorry we can't do that either as I haven't brought all my music" came the reply from the accordian player. There were no more requests. We were getting paid to do that gig. I left soon afterwards for various but similarly connected reasons.
