Having my shorts pulled down in summer camp when I was 10. I was wearing a 2 piece kelly green terry cloth short and top. The guy next to me thought it was a one piece and tugged on the shorts to get me to sit down. When he tugged the shorts went down but I didn't.

| FUNNIEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED
ON STAGE... |
During one of the hundreds of Patsy Cline shows that I've done I actually forgot the words to Crazy during a show. I just kept on singing. Later my piano player left me a note saying how happy he was that someone had FINALLY rewritten the lyrics. He was so tired of hearing the same thing time after time.
