Just joining a folk revival group, and the other guys mistook my dry sense of humor for shyness. We had a performance scheduled for a Saturday night opening act for the Platters, sold out house of 1200 people At sound check early that day, one of the quitar players said, "Jim we need to spend some time tuning between numbers so if their seems to be a little too long of a delay, I will nod to you and you can fill the time with a clever remark, OK?"   "Fine, " I said. About halfway through the set we were preparing to play the old Gordon Lightfoot song,"That's what you get for lovin'me" Well, after announcing the song, the inevitable last second tuning was taking a bit long, and I got the nod. I bravely stepped to the microphone and announced, "This song is about Venereal Disease" Needless to say, We had trouble maintaining composure during the song!
