...and Andante is if he's already had a few screwdrivers!

Q: How does the maestro define adagio?

A: Any tempo wherein 4-6 bars should pass by before a flautist can sight-read Bb!

Q: What's the difference between flutist and flautist?

Yeah, technicians, let me tell you about technicians: Last week I called up my repair-guy and asked if I could come on by the shop and pick up my Yamaha I'd taken down for servicing. He says, Yeah, come on by, now's a good time; the shop's empty, there ain't nobody around. So, I come on by, get down...

The other night I was up on stage working, and some wiseguy out in the audience decides to shout out and asks me about my job --all of a sudden I'm hearing, Hey buddy! What do you for a living?!

So I says, Listen pal, I find flautists for your sister!, OK?

One day when I was a kid coming back home from school, and so my mom asks me what I learned that day. And I said, Mom, I asked the music techer to explain the difference between a flutist and a flautist.

823 and it's Luke Prodigal Son/Unjust Steward; but I was thinking more along the line of Kilroy/Mr Roboto & Styx. I haven't met Styx yet, tho.

Hmm, HWNSNBS or maybe run to the closest Zondervan's and look to see what prophet is on page 666: for instance, looking at what I got here it'd be my pleasure to introduce you to Ezekiel! (chapter 40 if for those interested.) Son of dust...

Yeah, was just making some of my patent doofus humor there, sorry! But hey, that "steady-stream" approach might work better for trumpet players, I'm thinking. Although, I managed to get some staccato notes out puffing like a goldfish all the while managing a steady inhalation just now here a moment ...

Sorry if this thread already is started somewheres...

Of course, I fancy the boys at MIT can make some really spiffy metronomes using gyroscopes and multicolored LED's; do, might want to look into what modern science has to offer as well!
