Alan Day Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Last year about this time I started nightmare gigs and I thought I would give you a bit of fun at my expense. I finished off last year with a late entry which many of you may have missed regarding a band engagement.Waiting outside the hall for about half an hour eventually the caretaker came along,"We are here for the barn dance", he replied " Oh that was last week ,the band didn`t turn up!! I first met Jim(The poet) at the Broadwood Morris and we hit it off straight away ,his sense of humour being similar to mine.We formed an act doing Musical Monologues and poems,with me doing the music and Jim mainly doing the verse. Jim and his wife Gail invited us to their Naturist club,but assured us it was an open night and nobody would be taking off their clothes and anyway we were booked to do a spot during the evening.With great reluctance my wife was persuaded to come along.It was a fancy dress night men dressed as ladies and visa versa.I went to Oxfam and bought a lovely red flowery dress and matching pink beads and I think Jenny wore something of mine. The evening went well all were clothed and the members to visitors were about even.We did our spot,the barbeque was good, a good evening ,until twelve oclock and someone said " Anyone want a swim we are going now.Game for anything, off I went.If they are taking off their clothes, then so will I. I dived in wearing just my pink beads and swam the fastest three lengths ever recorded in that pool,it was freezing.Jumping out of the pool I went back for my dress and it was missing.Jim had pinched it.I was the only person that night to be seen naked in that hall and I had to walk diagonally across to the far side to get my dress back.One woman asked " How long have you been a member" I am not I replied"Oh Really! Whan we got home my wife said " I have never been so embarrased in all my life". "I couldn`t help it" I said "the water was really cold" Al
BillErickson Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Alan, I've been trying to imagine that scene with you as your avatar, minus the clothing. Too bad you didn't have your concertina handy, then you could have strategically positioned it as per your avatar.
Boney Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 Alan, I've been trying to imagine that scene with you as your avatar, minus the clothing. Hm...I've already done the mohawk... Great stories, Alan! It was cold -- indeed!
Helen Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 Oh Al, you are a lot braver than I'll ever be. What a good sport. And you even are willing to tell about it. Helen
