Curtain Up (David Fishel)
Oslo, Norway
It is not only the band's debut...but the young guitarist's first professional gig. A society gig at one of Oslo's best hotels. There is an electronic metal "curtain" in front of the stage which rises as the band begin their "dinner music" set. The guitarist was so concentrated on his tuning and amp levels and all the rest of it, that he failed to notice that his suit sleeve was caught up in the curtain. Believe it or not, the guitarist rose as the curtain did and was suspended at least six feet in the air before the hotel staff managed to switch off the current. A flying start?
