I sang at a talent show,when I was a kid. They put in the wrong side of the cassette. so the wrong song was playing, I tried to tell them It was the wrong song, and tripped on the microphone cord. After they got the right side of the tape going, I was standing there in my Black and white checked pants and yellow pac man shirt, about as red faced as could be.
I wont tell you the song I was singing :oops:

Been mulling this over since the thread started - and since we must focus it on music (otherwise there are too many stupid things to mention)...

I wanted to learn guitar as a kid. We had a piano, a piano teacher down the street, my parents sprang for piano lessons. Well, I was a pissy little kid (10, I think) - I didn't want to play the piano, I wanted to play the guitar. So I didn't practice much, didn't pay attention - basically squandered the chance until they pulled the plug.
Later I realized the opportunity for what it was and what I missed - learning one instrument to transfer to another, years of musical theory, etc.
Now I am playing catch up.

I've done a lot of dumb things, but one of the dumbest things I did recently was do some routing on a guitars pickup cavity with a drill...

I once had a theory that if men wrote down the 10 dumbbest things they'd ever done, 7 out of 10 would be women-related (attracting, impressing, winning them), or alcohol-related (nuff said), and probably a few of them were both.

As I sit back and review my life I fear I may have accumulated a perfect 10 of 10. :oops:


How about "vehicle related"? I was driving the Blue Ridge Parkway last fall, and I pulled over to the shoulder to take a picture. I didn't realize how soft and wet the ground was, and my poor little truck started to slide down the hill. Thankfully some locals stopped and towed me out before it slid any further. This is a really poor quality picture... and I wish it would have shown the 200 ft drop off just past those small trees.

Musically - i for some reason when changing strings thought it would be a good idea to cut a string that i couldnt untie with some pliers but i didnt loosen the string first it whipped back straight into a finger.. bloody hurt! To this day i still dont why i thought it was a good idea to cut it..

Non-musically - i was an usher at my brothers wedding and asked the father-in-laws identical twin brother where the bride was, had she done a runner... everyone laughed; the church was packed... it was dumb cos only half hour before my brother had told me his father-in-law had a twin!! Also at the same wedding i locked the photographer out the church... i saw the door pop open after i shut it.. i thought it had something stuck in it so i rammed the door shut with my shoulder, he managed to take decent photo's with one hand tho...

It's okay to cut a string, but make sure the string is loose before cuting it.

It never "fell", it just slid to where you see it in this picture. It came WAY too close to rolling over. Yup... I was in it when it happened... I thought for sure I was a goner.

If you think about music, there is so much to learn. We are probably the little spec of dirt on the "Great Bib Book of Music Theory"... (Just made that up). You know what I mean?
