I remember playing a fake book gig where someone called up Lady Bird. Half the combo pulled up Lazy Bird instead. Now, my ear's not that good (I'm often accused of being tone deaf, although I seem to be able to play fretless without much trouble). I was unfamiliar with either song. I thought it sounded a little outside. I think we played through 2 choruses before someone halted the tune. | ||

This reminds me of a funny story from my youth. I was about 17 and a member of LRY, a youth group out of the Unitarian Church. (I wasn't a Unitarian, but my friend was, and his youth group was much cooler than the one I belonged to - USY - United Synagogue Youth, especially when you realize that LRY was mentioned in "The Electric Kool-aid Acid Test"). I was at a weekend conference in Massachusetts (either Amherst or Pittsfield, as I recall). About 100 or so teenagers crashing at a church for the weekend with minimal, if any, adult supervision. BIG FUN! Anyway, on Sunday morning the regular congregation arrived for services which the LRYers also attended. At one point the minister asked everyone to turn to a particular page in the hymn book and sing the hymn found there. I turned to the page and found "Morning Has Broken". Up until that moment I thought this was a Cat Stevens song. Apparently so did most of the teen LRYers. When we all began to sing, it was readily apparent that there were two distinctly different versions being sung simultaneously. As the congregation sang it straight, like a hymm (duh!), we teenagers all sang out loud, doing our collective best Cat Stevens: "Morning has bro ... ken, like the first mor ... ning etc." It was a memorable experience. Bill, tgo | ||

The difference between a drunk driver and a pothead driver: The drunk runs the stop sign. The pothead stops at the sign, and waits for it to turn green. | ||
