  I love it.  HEy, I wanted a wife with good vocal chops,
got one, master's in vocal music.   had to
teach her hat to scat sing though.  USed to write out her
scat parts to be honest.  sYllables, notes and all.  Taught
her to do some percussion, bongo and congas drums.

We lasted 9 years, then she wanted a divorce, crawled back
in her cocoon.

Yah, another version of perfect pitch, tossing the accordion out the car
window at 70 mph.
Ah no, here we go again, musician jokes.

What do you call a trombonist with a pager?

An optimist.

What do you call a guitar player without a girlfriend?

HOmeless.

Then there's bagpipes, those things ain't musical
instruments, they're munitions.


Regards,
