During the first set of last night's gig, I noticed that somebody dancing in the back was also holding a pad of paper and a pen. He was scrawling on the paper even more furiously than he was dancing, and I was pretty impressed to discover that he had managed to draw a portrait of me while he was so animated. After the show he gave the drawing to me - my first portrait! Pretty sweet, methinks.
And to think I was not looking forward to this gig - it was going to be a super late gig for very little pay. But now I've got this, which just goes to show that every gig is a gift.

I once had a balloon artist make a huge Bugs Bunny-looking rabbit (about three feet tall). The kicker was that he also added a huge penis to it with both the bunny's hands/paws wrapped around it, then placed it on the floor directly in front of me.
Still don't know what he meant by it.

That thing happened to me decades ago, when I had a short duration gig with a jazz group. The vocalist's friend did pencil sketches of each of us. It's hanging on the wall of my music room, now.
Way better than cell phone pix on a Facebook page, IMO--but then, I'm old school... | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
