This is a fun thread as we make fun of ourselves.

I was playing in Canada and we did Summer of 69 back then. In the middle of that song is a small break where I was supposed to play 8 bars on the synth while the band held out sustained chords, cymbals, etc.... I totally spaced on it. Stood right there, did nothing, reached for my water..... all 5 sets of eyes turned toward me as I woke up and realized I was supposed to be playing.

Without missing a beat or the slightest hint of a smile, I said "Why'd everybody stop playing?"
