Working in a strip joint on 52nd street back in the 50's.
A person approached me and asked if I'd play in a private club across =
the street.
(Solo - $250.00 for 5 minutes at most)
Feeling adventurous I went. I was led into a darkened "living room".
I started to play (whatever song they asked for - I forgot)
Lights went on after about 30 seconds. There was a well known actress in =
the middle
of the room, stark naked and turning around slowly until she went 360 =
degrees. - Gig was over!
Lights went out - I got paid and went back to the club.

There are a few other gigs that were bizarre and stranger than this. =
This one came to mind first.
