I once had a drunk chick, slim with requisite bumps, squat in front of me and put one leg back between mine so she could weasel up behind my bass while I am playing and 'dance' there. Talk about distracting!!!!

Worst I've had is low league compared to some here... but my orchestra had been asked to provide a group to provide music in a cafe as part of a charity weekend event. So 4 of us provided a quartet (4 cellos in this case). So, we're sat their playing a Piazolla tango, which requires a lot of concentration on reading the music and playing... and people start talking to us... I've just about got enough brain power to play the Piazolla... there's none left for anything else!

 

btw playing unamplified strings in a cafe setting is hard going

We played at a wedding years ago. We took a break and this was back in the days when we were innocent and didn't turn down the PA. The grooms sister who was a well known pshycho got up and started swearing and going off about some girl that had supposedly hit her and she wanted the girl thrown out of the wedding. I ran up and slid down the sliders and then she started on me to turn the mic back up. Luckily by this time others had arrived and escorted her away. It was quite a night.

I don't think the marriage lasted and I have since heard that the groom is the biggest misogynist you could meet.

Apart from being the bass player I am also the singer. I have had people come up to me whilst I am singing and playing and ask me how are you doing? What are you up to?

Did anyone demand you play Sex On Fire, or 'Anything by Tina Turner'? 😕🙂

The cognitive dissonance where they don't "get it" is perplexing

Fortunately, no. We were playing this, but with 4 not 12
