Not really a “rock concert”. Saw a small unknown band playing in a bar in Cupertino Ca.

It was a bar best suited for about 150 people, there must have been 200 packed in there. The waitresses were delivering drinks, bunch of people were playing darts in the back. The place was very loud, people laughing, glasses being banged together. Probably the least loud thing in the bar was the band.

The band went quiet for a few seconds and the guitarist started tapping out the Snoopy theme. To this day I don’t know how he did it but the guitar sounded exactly like a piano.

After a minute or so the bar was silent. I remember looking around and everyone in the bar had just stopped what they were doing and were watching him play the snoopy theme. The waitresses were stopped in the middle of the room, the bartender was just staring. It was an amazing moment. The only time I’ve seen a guitarist silence a bar with a Henry Mancini tune. The guitarist was John Wedemyer.
