My fav was when our church group played at a historical cathedral here in town, and the service is always carried on CATV. Anyhow, we're running through a few songs before we actually start, and I drop my aluminum straight. Believe me, nothing echoes like 300-year-old rock and stained glass. The other trumpeter gives me a little grief....yada yada yada. Now we are playing the service, and during one of our featured numbers, HE drops HIS. I leane dover to him and whispered, "That's why I dropped mine during PRACTICE!"
