“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.

Comments: My sister thinks I’m a bit obscure on # 1 and #8, so if you agree, here is some help.

#1. If you propose to me, I’ll wed ja!  (a y is pronounced like a j in my part of Mexico!). Yes. Very obscure. Sorry, Patti and all.

#8.  My fault. I left out part of the sentence.  It should read: Crew cut–what happens in the kitchen on a boat during stormy weather..(.i.e. the boat lurches and the kitchen crew slices their fingers instead of the veggies.)
