I know a mudcatter (if any such 'catters wish to ID themselves, let them do it!) who was on live television as part of a trio. They had been under the impression that they were going to be on radio, not TV, so when they got there, they were dressed in various ragtag outfits. Worse, they hadn't prepared themselves to do without sheet music and lyrics. And the TV station had no music stands to lend them. So they lay the paperwork on the floor in front of them.

They showed up in our homes, standing neatly side by side, heads bowed, eyes glued to the floor, looking at something out of our sight.

As someone once said, We get the neatest gigs!
