Best Gig Comment Ever

I played for an hour yesterday at a local nursing home. Most everyone seemed to enjoy it. I enjoyed it. But one woman -- the oldest in the building -- did not enjoy it. She sat about five feet away, directly in front of me. Between every number she would ask, "Don't you know any of the old songs that I know?" And, "Play 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame.'" And, "'Tell Me That You Love Me, Sweetheart.'" She was good natured, but I could tell I was frustrating her with my tradFrench stuff. About forty-five minutes in she got up and walked away, leaving behind the best gig comment I've ever gotten.

"If that's what they play in France, I'm glad I live here."

What's the best comment you've ever gotten at a performance?
