RCEinMA Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I thought that forum members might get a chuckle out of this. A little explanation first: I used to own an informal guitar shop in which we installed a performance stage, sound system, lights, etc. and held weekly "Open Mic" nights and a few small concerts. One of the regulars who attended the Open Mic nights was "Nanci" who is featured in this video. Nanci, along with other solo performers, often asked the other person featured .. "Brian" ... to accompany them by playing some lead guitar parts to their songs. Brian is a great guy and an excellent musician. He is also well known as a practical joker with a well developed sense of humor. The night of this Open Mic, my associate and I decided to play a prank on Brian. I am running the sound board. My associate, Rick, is hidden in a small room where he can see the stage but can't be seen himself. We equipped his guitar with a wireless transmitter to the sound board. We set this up ahead of time with Nanci and asked her not to stop playing and singing regardless of what happened. There were also about 30 people in the audience who were "in" on the prank. Brian didn't have a clue. Watch Brian's facial expressions during this video. The audience is laughing, but he can't figure out why or what was going on until the end.

EuroAussie Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Yes, I remember seeing this on the AGF I think a year ago, great trick. Thought the singer did well to keep it together for most of the song, I would have lost it a long time earlier .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greatwhite_10 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Way to go! Great fun. Never know what you'll get at live performances and some levity is always appreciated. He took it well, good sport, Brian. Nanci deserves a medal for keeping it together as well as she did. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissouriPicker Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 That was a good video. The guy really takes things well. There are some people who would have a tough time with that kind of joke. He was great with it. Seems like a really decent guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
