Obviously the holiday spirit has gotten to all of us here at S-Z ... (or is that holiday SPIRITS !!!) ... and usually at this time of year we reflect on the past, hopefully with more good thoughts than bad ...

I am sure that all of us, especially those of you who play gigs every day, have some experiences that stick out in your mind ...

In the spirit of sharing for the holidays, why not share some of your most memorable musical moments with the rest of us ...

(I'm certain for Scott Yee one would be his decision to share "Home" with the rest of us ... )
SCOTT - JUST TRYING TO LIGHTEN THINGS UP, FRIEND ... NO HARM INTENDED

I'll start with two of mine ... the first happened when I was playing accordion at about 17 yrs old and our "World Champion" Accordion Orchestra played a concert in Carnegie Hall - an absolute thrill ...

The second was when I was playing steady at an Italian restaurant ... coming back from break a young guy, who was having dinner with a young lady, asked if I could play and sing "Unchained Melody" ... when I said yes, he asked if I would wait until they came to the piano bar ... They came over a few minutes later, and as I am singing the song, he leans over and says something in her ear ... she gets this shocked look on her face, and he pulls out an engagement ring ... To my knowledge it was the first time anyone proposed while I provided the musical background ...

Next???

PS: ... anyone know the origin of the title "Unchained Melody" ?????
