Having the giggles on stage?

[fgl]

Any softies here ever had the giggles on stage?

I was reminiscing with a friend the other day and talking about this song “Besame Mucho” (he had recorded this track on his Latin album some time back).

I remember once when I was performing in a “not so swanky” country club (you know – the type where the members all cheapo and show off but try to act damm high & mighty & damm demanding type but actually all normal income jokers).

The crows consisted mainly of ballroom dances. They demanded cha-cha, rumba, tango, foxtrot, French waltzes etc… One day they requested Besame Mucho.

I was playing piano with a 4 pc band for this 6 ngts a week slot. The band tot – “Lets just whack this tune” so we played it. However we played in a high key (Am – high for guys) and I sang it with much gusto & feeling (I was messing about) like some Spanish bull fighter … my guys started giggling … soon I was giggling too…before U know it the whole band was in stitches on stages. but we continued to play (I ducked under my piano laughing) and got strange looks from the dancing crowd … It was sooooo hilarious
That seasoned musos couldn’t contain our giggles on stage during a performance.

Any other softies had this kind of experience before?

mine wasn't during a gig, never had one.
mine was during a drama performance.

bloody hell i was supposed to hug my friend then for no reason she started laughing so i tried to be serious and glare at her but it didnt work and we both started laughing ON STAGE.

that was embarassing.

get glasses,

well i've yet to experience that. maybe soon
a fellow band friends of mine did went through an ordeal like that.

basically my fellow drummer friend was watching the TV while playing.
unfortunately there was something funny on TV and he laughed,
strangely his hands kind drum rolled automatically to a finished.

the rest of the band members just stopped in shocked.
guess what he was still laughing at watching tv, oblivious to his surrounding.
till the guitarist threw a bottle at him.

im not playing anywhere. that was an gig event in the past.
my current band now still incomplete. looking for vocalist who is versatile, and hopefully as a bonus sing japanese.. maybe if its a girl, hope she can moan and... umm you get the idea right FGL?

but a warning in advance. my band very inexperienced.

 

[fgl]

dun worry aki - can giggle ur way through your set ..laughter is the best medicine

 

[Aki S. Ian]

wah? if only that was possible.
i do wonder, maybe ill try intoxicate one of my band members before we play. maybe he'll puke on stage.. ahha
