At my sister-in-law's wedding in USA (19 years ago), her husband to be, Roger's Mother was the church organist and as she was to be involved in the wedding, Roger asked me to be in charge of the 'taped' music.
He set up a stereo system in the church and gave me two tapes with instructions that tape 1 was to be played fron 1.10 pm. At 1.45 tape 2 had to be started and then when 'Where sheep may safely graze' played the next piece was one of the Brandenburg concerti which Jill was to enter the church to at 2pm. She assured me she would not be late!
I asked for headphones in case there was some problem. Unfortunately my lift was late picking me up so I didn't get to the church until 1.25. Equally unfortunately the tapes were not labelled. At 1.55 I put the headphones on and found 'Where sheep may safely graze' . The next piece however was not Brandenburg. Headphones back on and whizzing tape back and forth....found it at last, just after 2pm. I'm all of a sweat but no harm done.
After the Wedding service, my wife, the chief bridesmaid, asked *@*%@%@*@ had happened. She then told me that that all in the church could hear snippets of music for about 7 minutes. The headphones did not cut out the sound to the speakers.
I blush and sweat now as I think of this again
