I was playing a regular jazz gig at a local pub, when one of the obviously drunk patrons started shouting for us to play some zeppelin. Well we started thinking about if we knew any zeppelin tunes that might be fun, and clearly annoyed that we hadn't started playing one yet, the guy starts yelling for us to play "Baby I'm gonna leave." Well we kind of thought we might know that one, but we didn't think it would translate so good without vocals, so off the cuff, I said: We'll play it if you promise to sing the whole thing. Well this should shut up the drunks for a while, I'm thinking, but then he walks up to the band stand and starts counting it off. Alrighty then, here we go. And it was one of the most amazing musical moments we've ever had at that pub. He was amazing! Turns out he was the lead singer for a national pop act that's been on and off the charts for years. I guess you never know. Jon
