“Off Notes” For Fibbing Friday, Mar 8, 2024

11 Replies

My sister Betty started a family tradition by playing a saxophone later handed down to my sister Patti, then me, then my niece Cintra!!  It must now be at least 75 years old. I wonder where it is now!  I dedicate this piece to Patti and Cintra, who are together now in Arizona.

For Fibbing Friday, the challenge is a supposed musical interlude:

1. What is a French horn?  A former Parisian lady of the night who went to school and became a nurse.  (French ho RN) I came back and read this a week later and couldn’t figure it out, either, so thought I’d give a clue.)

2. What is a cornet? A very small callus on a toe caused by too much time spent in the marching band.

3. What is a clarinet?   ‘S  a  cream pastry with chocolate frosting served in a small mesh  takeout bag.

4. What is a snare drum?  ‘S an Eardrum pronounced in a southern accent.

5. What is a viola?  An unpleasant one night stand.

6. What is a double bass?  A set of conjoined fish.

7. What is the difference between a Concert, Upright or Grand? The first is a musical presentation. The second is a musical position and the third a musical pretension.

8. What is campanology?  An impossibility, because there is really nothing to compare to the truly flamboyant!! 

9. What is a trombone? It is what the llp bone is connected to.

10. What is timpani? A type of drum made out of a tin frying pan.

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.
