Beneath the layer of international celebrity there are hosts of striving musicians who, from time to time, demonstrate why they are musicians rather than, say, graphic designers?

Awkward Musician Photos
If I had seen this yesterday it would have made the Friday miscellanea for sure! As it is, I can't resist sharing with you these "21 Extremely Awkward Band and Musician Photos". It speaks well for the inherent good taste of classical musicians that only one of the 21 is of our tribe. And it causes me to offer profound thanks that there are no extant photos of any the bands I played in as a teenager. It was so long ago that it never even occurred to us to have photos taken! Here is a sample from the link, and, believe me, it is far from being the most awkward:

The one with the harp and the small tractor was pretty funny. Very unexpected.
ReplyDeleteYes, the only classical one. Some of the others were just scary!
ReplyDeleteLooking for Musician - Bryan Townsend
ReplyDeleteHello, my name is Sandra Nadeau and I work at Musicians’ Pension Fund of Canada in Toronto.
First, let me apologize for this email. I am trying to track down our member Bryan Townsend, who has a pension benefit due from our office.
Unfortunately, musicians do not always keep their address up to date and often forget (or do not know) that they have a benefit with us. His date of birth as shown in our records is May 26, 19XX (held for privacy reasons). Not sure if I have located the correct Bryan Townsend.
If so, would you kindly have him contact the Fund office at 416-497-4702 or by email sandra@mpfcanada.ca. Our website is mpfcanada.ca at which due diligence may be conducted to assure yourself that this is a legitimate matter requiring your early attention. Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.
Kind regards,
Sandra Nadeau
