You know that song “If you’re gonna play in Texas, you’ve gotta have a fiddle in the band” by the band Alabama? I heard it on the radio again for the 100000th time one day and i heard something i’d never heard. The song says..
“I remember down in Houston we were puttin’ on a show
When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled, “Cotton-Eyed Joe”!
He said, “We love what you’re doin’, boys don’t get us wrong
There’s just somethin’ missin’ in your song
If you’re gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot but not for “Lousiana Man”
So rosin up that bow for “Faded Love” and let’s all dance
If you’re gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band”
That is one intense heckle. I mean… usually hecklers say “you suck!” or ” summer of 69!” But this guy was positive. He told them what he didn’t like in a polite manner, but then on to give constructive criticism on what they can do to fix their problems in the band. Honestly i cant believe everyone allowed him to finish. Luckily they had a fiddle player the whole time and he just got his fiddle out and all was well. Its really a heart warming story.
