That 10 things meme

10 Things meme

10 - In my ... ahem ... career as a musician I have been in bands playing, in order, drums, percussion, bass, keyboards, guitar and been a lead vocalist several times in there. I'm my own damn band.
9 - Been babysat by one of Agnes De Milles favorite dancers.
8 - Met Dustin Hoffman backstage at a Broadway show.
7 - Lived upstairs from a crackhouse, and had one of the proprieters of said establishment help me get my wife up 7 flights of stairs the day after she had given birth.
6 - Stayed in a hotel that was also a working woman's place of business in Athens. Remind me to tell you the story sometime, it was like living in a Fellini film.
5 - Met Ben Black Elk and was told stories about his childhood and his father's.
4 - Did mime in the Great Theatre At Epidaurus (not sanctioned by any official organization, but there are photos).
3 - Had the great music hall comedian Max Wall make monkey faces at me.
2 - Been mentioned as an object of desire by the music writer for a ... ahem ... men's magazine.
1 - Worked in a London fringe theatre at 15.

I have held six-night-a-week nightclub bands as the drummer, the lead guitarist, the rhythm guitarist (briefly -- lead guitarist wasn't better than I was, but couldn't back up another musician to save his life), the keyboard player, and the bassist for numerous local bands in Minneapolis. Not the lead singer, though, and never just as a full-time percussionist, so you've got a couple that I don't.
