if i could trade places......


i hope we might have some fun with this one, while learning something of ourselves and imparting to others a bit about our unique tastes and passions. here’s the fill-in-the-blanks drill: if, for one night, i could trade places with a [musician, singer, participant-live or dead] in a concert by [a group, composer or individual-live or dead], I’d do so because [ reason or explanation ]. this is not a rigid construct but only a rough formulation of an idea for each to build upon.

i’ll give an example, by way of further explanation and as a “starter post,” as follows: if, for one night, I could have stepped out of my lawyer’s shoes and suit and taken on the role of another, I’d have chosen to be the tambourine player in eric clapton’s band that played and recorded the tracks that became the “unplugged” album. this part is one, even I, could have performed adequately and would have put me in the middle of a performance i judge to be among the most seminal of the last couple decades of the 20th century.

I suggest Sardina, Greg, not the Costa Smeralda, but the wild part in the mountains, where there are still bandits (sometimes) and true hospitality (mostly) and some of the old people still think, that strangers are messengers of (the) God(s). Its swiftly passing away, though.
Detlof, thanks, I'll check it out & start phantasizing. Hope the power supply is good out there -- or should I take an industrial grade battery with me.
Cheers!
Get your own generator, diesel preferably. Oh, and it is SardinIa of course, not Sardina and they have wonderful music there......warm regards!
As a kid, Mick Jagger was my idle, so back then, I have to say I would have killed to trade places with him....(sometime in the late sixties - perhaps during the tour that produced "Get your Ya Ya's out")

Now, I am older, wiser, I have seen the world myself, had adventures with beautiful women, discovered the finer things in life etc... My musical horizons have expanded dramatically - the world of Bach, Monteverdi, Thelonius Monk are mine! I would have to say in light of this 3 decades of learning and growth my choice would now be........Mick Jagger(you lucky bastard).
