Thread Name: BS: Your funniest gig anecdote
Subject: RE: BS: Your funniest gig anecdote
I was asked to perform at an outdoor wedding, by a beautiful lakeshore. When the couple wanted to get things started, I strummed a chord on my guitar and started singing. As I started the first verse, and the people were gathering into a half circle facing the lake, we all saw a large flock of ducks paddling over. They reached the shore, continued on land, and gathered around the brides feet. They cocked their heads, were very quiet, as if listening to my song. When the music stopped, they all looked at each other, quacked loudly back and forth, waddled back into the water and paddled away. We were all so stunned there was silence until I cracked up. We all laughed so long the minister had to get everyone's attention again. (Unfortunatly I forget what song I was singing, but I can still see those ducks)! CHEERS, Bob (deckman) Nelson
