How can one shared post bring inspiration for another one? Easily, for sure, as no time passed from that action that I read one funny thing and voila, a new post is coming. A humble contribution to the community to have a bit of laughter, though I don't consider myself as a very talented person to bring any humor to the scene. Victor Borge was definitely one of those who could make laugh the audience and his tool was the same instrument I play... However, the only funny thing I can provide is my clumsiness and situations I find myself involved in. Situations in that you have to think quickly, save that can be saved and continue as if nothing had happened. Almost.
I remember my piano teacher was always telling me: During a performance, even if a fly comes to your nose, don't stop playing. You have to continue, no matter what happens in the audience or the scene. How nice advice, I would take it seriously, and it should be like this... but in real life, we face different challenges in the moment of playing in front of others.
In one of those moments when you play a gig with your violinist friend, in a super luxurious hotel-wellness clinic. When you play in the gigantic balcony of that place with a fantastic view towards the bay and mountains, with the breeze that everyone enjoys in a hot summer evening. Just not you and your music partner, as the music scores played from flew away with that wind. That happened to us, in one of the gigs, so what we have done is just simply make a mashup and continue to play a tune we know by heart and came first to our mind. This is how the song Por una cabeza finished as Summertime by Gershwin.
According to some smiles I saw, I realized others noticed the mix of those tunes, but anyway, let us pretend it was a bonus song. Here comes the song Por una cabeza, this time played until the end without changing the tune in the middle of it.
P.S. I attached now the sheet music well, so even with wind it would stay :)
