Tell us something.: I am interested in the uilleann pipes and their typical -and broader- use. I have been composing and arranging for the instrument lately. I enjoy unusual harmonic combinations on the pipes. I use the pipes to play music of other cultures.

Slightly OT: a musical joke

Post by tommykleen »

A joke that someone wrote and I am passing along:

A B-flat, a D-flat, and an F walk into a bar. The bartender says to
them, "I'm sorry we don't serve minors here"...
So the D-flat leaves, and the B-flat and the F have a fifth between
them and go home.

likewise from a friend of mine who understands this stuff:

But if before B-flat and F left the bar, D and his buddy A-flat came in, A-flat would be in charge, because he was dominant.

sorry Tom... see what you've done
