Oddest question asked in an audition...

[yodedude2]

One of the most shameful episodes in my own history is playing "Achey Breakey Heart" for money.

did you sing harmony on the chorus?


then....shut up.

Not really at the audition, but...

I was once asked if I could pick up (in a car) the person who was auditioning.

Another person auditioning asked if "we prayed"?

I've picked up more than one person auditioning for our band.... and all were singers. One even asked at the audition if any of us was a mechanic, because his 1983 Cadillac Cimarron was in need of repairs. Seeing he wasn't a fit for the band, I kept my mouth shut.

"Because we are!"

...and they did.

"mind if i use a click?" drummer (currently with an internationally renowned rock act) --- on a jazz gig.

Count yourself lucky! There’s been many times I would actually have been happy if the drummer had asked me that question. I’ve played with a few jazz drummers whose timing was all over the place, and not in a creative / playful way, just a horrible mess. if my choices are ‘jazz with drunk random splashy timing’ or ‘jazz with steady but lifeless timing’ I think i would still always pick the second option.

Question was to myself

Does a 300lb red neck, missing 3 fingers, admittedly self inflicted, think he's a marketable lead man, thank goodness he wasn't any good.

So Anyway, I'm going to watch 'Snatch' with the Caption feature on.
I'll have a fire extinguisher handy in case the poor little thing overloads.
