Most of you probably don’t know this, but I typically wear a suit and tie when I’m going to be in public. Some people don’t and that is fine, but this is just my personal preference.
On Thursday night, I stepped out in the hallway of Freedom Hall to grab a soda from one of the vendors. I’m assuming because of the way I was dressed, a lady, probably in her late-40’s – mid-50’s approached me and starting talking my ears off. She just carried on how she enjoyed my singing that evening and how my group was one of her favorites.
I blurted out before I could stop myself, “Why thank you so much. Please be sure to come back and see us again next year and stop by our booth if you get a chance.”
I still don’t know who she thought I was or who she thought I sang with, but I’m still laughing over this one……..
That’s a fantastic story!
I can relate. There’s another piano player who lives in my area, and his name is also David. We look nothing alike, aside from being a bit on the heavy set side of the equation. I’m always clean shaven (or sporting a day’s growth of beard at the most). He has sported a goatee for years. Our playing styles are totally different as well…
Yet people get the two of us confused from time to time.
By the way, at the blogger meeting, I didn’t mean to agree with you when you said something about looking sloppy the last time I saw you. You weren’t in a suit and tie at the outdoor fair we played back in August, but I’m fine with casual attire.
I agree with DBM–that was hilarious. I wish I coulda been there… :)
But perhaps it’s good that I wasn’t. By late Saturday night, I was so tired that I would have probably said something completely off the wall…”Oh, wow! Nice to meet you…and by the way, congratulations on ‘Last Night’ hitting number 1. I just *love* that song!”
Does not surprise me Adam. You look like a pro singer (for all I know you are, in talent as well).
She’s somewhere telling a story that’s cooler than yours!

Hovie Lister said once that he wanted to always look his best, and that he thought he looked best in a suit.
From what Daniel is saying,can I assume that you have a resemblance to Devin of KP&NR ?
Wow, This is a great story!! Sure nice to know you did a good job though… We were there at NQC as well I think you left us a card at our booth but never got to talk with you and to give you a CD. We would like to get one to you so let me know how I can do this? We had a great time there in Louisville. Hope to see you next year.
