: OK...I got a couple I'll share......

: 1) I was mixing a small time outdoor "family" type show for about 500 people or so, and the guys in the band were very good friends of mine. The agent who booked them was new at her job and trying VERY hard to make a good impression. The agent also had a habit of wanting to listen to my mix through headphones at the console. On a break, I told the singer to play a joke on the agent. So, when the band went back up to play, I gave the phones to the agent after discreetly soloing up the lead singer AND the full house mix while muting the lead singer everywhere else. The singer proceeded to "get mad" at the crowd for not responding, and began cursing at them in the "blueist" possible language! Of course, the agent, who thought she was listening to the house mix, just about had a STROKE before she realized that she was the only one who heard any of it!

: 2) This was before my time with the group, but I heard about it so many times from different people who WERE there, that I know it is true. 
:     The folk singer Glenn Yarborough was doing a show for some priviledged Jewish kids at a camp in upstate New York. On this particular gig, Glenn was...... almost beyond intoxicated. Things got out of hand when he turned backwards to face the band, opened the bass player's sportcoat pocket, and threw up MIGHTILY into it! As the stunned bass player tried to hold down his own lunch and continue playing with the vomit starting to ooze out of his front pocket......Glenn whirled around to face the audience again, and launched into a rousing rendition of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus!"
