Funniest concert memory: Years ago, when I was playing the Nutcracker with the Columbus Symphony, they were using a live duck in their production.  In the middle of one of the performances, the duck flew over my head and landed next to me in the pit.  I screamed at the top of my lungs, and they had to stop the performance.  After someone put the duck back on stage, the performance resumed.  We all had a great laugh.
