Ever play at a clothing optional resort?

I have never played at a clothing optional resort, but I have player at a flea market several times, haha
Never had the opportunity. If asked, I’d probably decline. Something about a bunch of sunburned septuagenarians just takes all the wind out of my sails.
Now, we did play an event that had a “free bike wash” that was definitely staffed by pro dancers. That was a very distracting gig, and the eye muscles are still aching from trying to keep our heads looking forward, as our wives sat cross-armed out front.

Having lived near a beach that was clothing optional, 99% of the people you will see are people you would never, ever want to see naked.
Too bad. We were at a restaurant and a college VB team walked it. I am 6' & all the girls were taller than I was.. Not to offend anyone, there were ALL nice looking.....
Yes. I was suspicious at the load in when signs in the hall stated "NO CELL PHONES". No pictures. No one in the band knew, and of course we were clothed. Most were older, rich people. It was funny, a little uncomfortable, and we got through it. The singer was freaking that people would get on stage.
One band I play with has done it and believe me you will wish they had clothes on. The band played with clothes on. If you think it's going to be a great visual it's not. Have you ever seen the movie About Schmidt with Jack Nichloson? the scene with Kathy Bates nude that is what this will be like

My longest running band played lots of biker bars & MC's (which are just shy of an official nudist spot). So, ya, seen lots of "skin to win", lol! Heck, even in the bars it would happen. Although not to the extent the MC gigs did.
My very first gig was in a cop's basement. The drummer's dad was a cop and we played at a birthday party for one of his dad's cop buddies. It was about 1972 and we played whatever was on the radio at the time - Santana, Stones, Credence, Steppenwolf, etc.
One cop's wife became quite drunk and began removing her clothes. He finally stopped her when she was wearing only a leotard. She then went around the room making out with everyone. She tried to French kiss me when I had a mouth full of food and then told me I was a terrible kisser. Those were the good old daze.

So Anyway, I've played 15+ years of Mardi Gras events. It's surprising what some folks will show you for a little string of beads.
It's actually good clean fun...plus there are Hurricanes.

I'm a total exhibitionist. This type of gig is right up my alley. This would be the one time I wear my bass high.
No, but visions of Peter Sellers with a guitar popped into my mind. I can’t remember the name of movie. Have fun, but remember the rule here on TB. Pictures or it didn’t happen…LOL!!!
