Harmonica player at a gig

Hi.

Happened to us too on an outdoors gig last summer. Fortunately the stage was too high for the guy to climb on so he blasted away in the dancefloor. To make matters worse (well, perhaps not) he left his a bit pricey cromatic on the rail there and as usual it rained quite a bit during the morning.

Why is it that someone who's clearly not cabable or even able to sing, play tambourine, cowbell etc. etc. suddenly gets the urge to show his/her talent to the rest of the world, unannounced and uninvited. Usually the reaction is the same as in that video.

I loved the way they just started playing again and got right back into it, good stuff! (and the way the drummer and guitarist kept going even though the other two had stopped, it is a performance after all!)
