Sounds like my first gig with Midge Marsden...

Did Midge show you his exquisite breasts?

I was bored with the wedding and was probably checking her out and wondering what was under the long classically wedding appropriate harp player dress that she was wearing ... and I think she might have spotted me. She smiled at me and I smiled back but gave her the metal horns in deference to what she was playing. She grinned back and even so subtley ... weaved Enter Sandman into the piece she was playing. I can't even begin to tell you how it sounded, but it was like jazz harp playing Enter Sandman snippets all the time it was cool.

I walked up when she had finished and thanked her for being a good sport ... I asked if she wanted a drink ... she was a cool 'you better get me a red wine or something ... I could f'n murder a bourbon but I better have wine so I look the part'.

I saw her about a year later and my wife recognised her first ... she had tats down to her tshirt line and over her shoulder. She looked MUCH hotter covered up - but what a choice-as woman.

Now when I play at church (once or twice a year), I try to drop as many rock riffs in as a can.



So yeah, that's my religious ceremony with a harp player story.




so weird - the wrything ion the harp..,.but, theyre someone's daughters.,.

When I was a younger man ... a gorgeous young thing requested 'The Gambler' and this was from a rock band who had just finished playing Creed and Shihad. To be fair, expecting The Gambler to be somewhere on the setlist was a big ask.

I said that I loved the song, but she'd have to show me her ... anyways ... she didn't ...I did .. and that was that.

EDIT - got halfway through and decided it was a little too off-topic.
Yup - that's me and my pal Steve or little stevie vai as I like to call him. In Auckland airport when I was 26. I'm not 26 anymore.

Going to see Rory Gallagher in Dunedin in 1979, spending most of the gig awe-struck with my jaw on the floor, and then, afterwards, still buzzing from the sheer power of the gig, going into a boozer, and literally bumping into Ted McKenna who then introduced me to Rory...

A true gentleman, he was to a callow youth from NZs south, and my hero worship has not really abated since....
