This is Adam Manus.

And I'm Peter Martin.

And you're listening to the You'll Hear at podcast.

Daily jazz advice coming at you.

Today we're going to delve into some of the funniest or worst gigging moments we've ever had.

All right. We should probably do this one anonymously, like not name names because we don't

want to get in trouble with our friends. That's right. I am, my name is Brad Meldow and you are

Chick Korea. Guest host today. Well, this is, now, it's phrased in a funny, worst gigging moments way because this is a question for one of our listeners. We love the listeners and we love the questions because we're running out of topics, to be quite honest with you, here at the You'll Hear It Podcast. And we would feel bad within the first three months to actually recycle topics. We're dangerously close to that, though.

Dude, this was your idea to do this daily, so don't start complaining now. Well, I mean, daily, I didn't, you know, every day, it was in the middle of winter. Every day seems so long. You know, now the days are shorter. This is really becoming a hassle, I got to tell you. It looks nice outside, right? No, actually what it is, we've got plenty of ideas, but what we want to do is talk about things that are entertaining and maybe even enlightening to you guys, the listeners. So please go to you'll hearat.com. You can leave a voice message or a typed message, as it were, and we'd love to answer your question. Or, if it's something that we don't like or don't know about,

ignore your question.

One or the other will happen. We do that too. We do that often. So this is from Alia, Elia. Elia. Elia. And it's about our funniest and or worst ginging moments. Do we care to share? Ha-ha. I mean, how much time do we got? We've got between seven and 11 minutes. All right, I will start.

So this was in Peoria, Illinois, which is a hotbed for it's already kind of funny. I'm already laughing. No, this is... Hometown of famous comedian. A little trivia for you, Peoria trivia. I don't know.

Richard Pryor. Oh, that's right. That's awesome. Well, Richard, I wish Richard Pryor was at this gig because he would have told a great story about this. So I was playing in a band. It was, we weren't a wedding band, but this was for a wedding, and this was a very affluent family in Peoria. and we weren't actually,

we were playing the rehearsal dinner,

but like I was playing with kind of a famous

singer. And, uh, that's how wealthy these people were. I think actually for the wedding themselves,

I think they had your boy, uh, Jeremy Davenport, like on, on stage on a, headlining, like on the football field in Peoria or so you know what I mean

like it was like they rented out the whole town yeah for this thing and uh 908 dollars no just

we love you Peoria big shout out big shout out but uh we're playing the rehearsal dinner, and the speeches start happening.

And the parents go first, and I'll never forget, like, there was like the father of the

groom said, well, you know, we're very proud of our family.

We're proud of to have it here, and we're probably can do it here in Peoria. But the thing we're most proud of our family. We're proud of to have it here, and we're proud we can do it here in Peoria.
