David Letterman considered hiring a duo for his recent wedding...
Here are a few questions DL may have asked PETE and SHER...
- Pete and Sher (in unison): "Nice beard!"
- Client: "Why thanks! Ummm... do you take requests?"
- Pete: "Yes, we will give anything a go, except gangster rap, thrash metal and Air On A G String."
- Client: "Can you control your volume?"
- Sher: "Yes, we never have complaints and can play louder if needed!"
- Client: "For weddings will you learn special songs."
- Pete: "Absolutely, we specialize in 30+ age group weddings and can learn special requests."
- Client: "How many hours do you play?"
- Sher: "Up to 5 hour bookings, sometimes we take just one ten minute break in a three hour show."
- Client: "Do you travel outside of Fort Myers?"
- Pete: "Certainly, I played a Presidential Inaugural Ball in DC, and we have a wedding in Kentucky soon."
- Sher: "Not ours, we are already married!"
- Pete: "...to each other!"
- Sher: "...most of the time!"
- Client: "Would you wear tuxedo etc if requested?"
- Sher: (laughing) "I don't, but Pete will!"
- Pete: "Yes, but not at a pool party in the middle of summer!"
- Client: "Pete, who famous have you been onstage with?"
- Pete: "Mick Fleetwood, Neil Finn, Gene Pitney, The Who, Gerry Rafferty's sax player on Baker Street... ummm, and Sher!"
- Client: "...CHER???"
- Sher: "No silly, ME!"
- Client: "How do you get to sound like a full band with only two of you."
- Sher: "Good question! Pete, how do we..."
- Pete: "We have professionally produced tracks with horns, strings and a full band and we add guitar, keys and voices live."
- Client: "Do you play any Frank Sinatra?"
- Pete: "We would, but he doesn't play any of ours!"
- Sher: "Yes, of course we do! New York, New York... Something Stupid... Fly Me To The Moon... I Got You Under my Skin... Wild Thing."
- Client: "Can you play for all age groups?"
- Sher: "Yes, we can rock out for the teenyboppers and we are proud to be playing New Year's Eve for a huge party at Shell Point this year."
- Pete: "We've played Relay For Life, at Toyota Fort Myers, at Safety Harbor Resort, Tampa Bay and for a private party for President Jimmy Carter."
- Sher: "We loved playing on Fox TV's Morning Show, except we had to be up at 6am!"
- Client: "What songs do you like to play?"
- Pete: "I consider myself an entertainer first, a musician second, so I love to play what people like to hear. I like to see people dance."
- Sher: "That is because he can't dance himself!" "Seriously, Pete has turned me on to alot of awesome music he grew up with. The Stones..."
- Pete: "...Bach, Vivaldi, The Electric Prunes! And Sher has got me into playing Sarah Bareilles, Nellie Furtado and Kylie Minogue!"
- Sher: "But his better songs are by The Beatles, Eagles, Bobby Darin, Louis Armstrong, Neil Diamond... and Bob Dylan!"
- Pete: "I love Sher singing the Disco and Soul Greats... Smokey, Aretha, Donna Summer, Gladys Knight, we both love Motown."
- Client: "Where can we come to hear you?"
- Pete and Sher: "Sure! We are at The Ridgway in Old Naples, Fridays Saturdays thru summer, then we add TWO more nights there."
- Letterman removes beard: "Thanks guys, but I think I'll give the gig to Paul Shaefer! He said he'd play for free!"
- Pete and Sher: "Ohhh, its YOU David! Well, we'd be happy to play free at your NEXT wedding!"
- (brawl ensues...)
