I thought it might be a good idea for a space for people to share their favorite music stories> They can short or long funny/sad/moving/educational/personal/factual etc
I will get the ball rolling with two of mine
There was a night when both Django and Segovia were at the same party (two of the greatest guitar players) Django was playing guitar and Segovia heard him. Segovia asked Django if he could get a transcription of the music he was playing Django replied he was improvising. In Segovia auto biography Segovia mentions the party He comments about seeing a great jazz guitar player but for him he did not consider it music
Ted Nugent is well renewed for playing loud Two quick stories that give a idea how loud
The first one is that people 15 miles away were complaining about the sound from his concert
The second he proudly tells the story of Pigeon flying past his speakers and literary blowing up due to the volume coming from the stacks
