so, those of you who haven't heard the story.....
Marc(my husband) told me about an auction for tickets to attend
San Diego radio station 94.1's Underground Lounge with
Simon LeBon and Andy Taylor of Duran Duran, for which
was a benefit for the Children's Hospital. I won one
pair of 7 to attend the concert. Since we couldn't
take photos, I decided to take my flute.
When the radio station called to give me the details,
the promotions manager told me that the special guest
was John Taylor and that was a great surprise.
After over an hour waiting in the station's lobby, the
guys showed up and sound checked. We were allowed in
and Marc and I sat in the middle of the crowd. They
played 'What Happens Tomorrow' and seemed to be having
a good time. I knew when Simon reached for the
acoustic guitar behind him, that 'Save A Prayer' was
next. Marc raised his hand, but they couldn't see him
because of the stage lights. I made him put his hand
down. I carefully put my flute together and quietly
tuned during the first part of the song. When they
got to the chorus, I started playing Nick's synth
line. The look on their faces was priceless! They
could not find the source of the song until the
station's camera guy took a photo of me. (shot 11)
Simon then waved me up on stage and I played out the
rest of the tune with them. After it was over, John
asked 'Who the hell are you?!?' and Simon said 'We
have our own James Galway in the studio, although a
heck of alot better looking.' I got to say a few
words and then they went to the next tune.
We taped the performance off the radio, and although
you can't hear my flute on the recording, they didn't
take the comments out of the airing. I hope to edit
that soon and make an MP3 out of it.
It was totally cool!!!
