The real question is, does she have anything on behind the guitar? Upside down with a firm, but not too firm, grip on the neck while being very careful of the headstock.

I don't think the keyboard player is actually doing anything either.

I may not wear pants the next time I play either. Who knew it was so simple?  ;D

Ivan,
I wish I had your last name so I could call my band "The beaver band".

Since you brought it up-here is a TRUE story.

When my girlfriend moved to the DC area she told me "I was looking for a gynecologist and you would not believe what I ran across.  There is one named Harry Beaver."

Either he should change his name or occupation.

Outstanding. I had a guidance councilor in Jr. High whose name was Ima Hoar

I remember my first year at Boy Scout Camp, 1990, Camp Baldwin, and not getting the joke of the buddy tag at the swimming beach "I.P. Freely"   (it was used for "lost buddy" drills; they needed a tag that didn't actually represent anyone so there would be an 'alert' to 'go find them.')

As long as we're on this topic swerve, three quick Air Force stories...

1. PA announcement, Homestead AFB (FL) hospital, circa 1980: "Dr. Stitch, please report to Surgery".

2. Maj. Richard Pounder.  That's right, he was a MAJOR D*** Pounder.

3. I had a colleague named Clinton Bush during the 1992 Presidential campaign.

Local real estate agent: Gaye Males. And yes, that is indeed the name on the "for sale" sign in front of the house.

At least the video shows you what you can do with one of those Craigslist "Heapin Pile of PA" cheap deals.

I read an interview with some of these ladies a couple months ago.  They were all models.  They had recent pictures of them and they were still very nice!  I learned that for this video shoot, union rules required them to have an equal number of musicians on set, basically just watching, and giving them pointers on how to better look like they were playing.

I recall hearing this video was banned in the UK because the girls weren't union members

I saw it on UK TV... so obviously not.  I think the Musicians Union made a fuss but they don't have the power to ban things!

Either the musicians failed at the task, or the models refused to listen to them.  Hilarity ensued.  Like most of us, my initial reaction upon seeing that surreal video all those years ago was, "WTF?".
