My premise is all shot to heck now, as I am remembering a rehearsal where my cufflink got stuck under one of my strings and practically ripped it out of the instrument with the loudest snap pizzicato Lucas or I have ever heard.KSO blogger Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07166175197773241968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619760635037422591.post-25029421929294946212011-09-21T08:57:22.431-04:002011-09-21T08:57:22.431-04:00Andy, the "being quiet" section jogged m...Andy, the "being quiet" section jogged my memory of the times when the quiet was abruptly broken by some snafu. Do you remember in the days of Kirk when one of the 2nd violinist's sound shields collapsed during a masterworks performance? I think we were playing a piece by Hoagy Carmichael.<br /><br />Or the time when a cell phone was dropped into a crack on the stage (I can't remember if this was at the Civic or the TN) and it kept ringing and ringing and ringing during rehearsal? Lucas was SO mad (rightly so!) and no one could get to the stupid phone to turn it off because it was under the stage. <br /><br />My favorite, though, was when an audience member dropped their program over the ledge of the balcony. (Also a MW performance.) That was the strangest extraneous noise I've ever heard during a concert. I thought there was a bat loose in the hall.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14003242850576980640noreply@blogger.com
