When you bring it in for service, "Change the oil, change the strings and give it a tune-up". Notes ♫

Congrats on the 20 years. I wish you 20 more, and I hope they get happier each and every year. BTW: Mrs. Notes didn't change her last name either, nor did I ask her. She already had a reputation as a singer/musician with her name, and neither one of us wanted to abandon that. Notes ♫

It's not exactly a cartoon, but it's funny and unbelievable.

Tales of Brave Ulysses - Cream lyric association: How his naked ears were tortured By the sirens sweetly singing For the sparkling waves are calling you To kiss their white laced lips

I probably tortured my parents when I was learning to play the saxophone in Jr. High School..

Celebration = Party Punky Reggae Party - Bob Marley and the Wailers

I didn't get the association but I haven't heard or even thought of PFM in decades. Thanks.

I can relate to this one.

Biscuits - Kacey Musgraves

OUCH. Can he still hear? But, since I was in a road band, leaving them in the studio sounds like a better idea than schlepping them every week or two. Notes ♫

Sergei Prokofiev : Symphony No. 4 - Scottish National Orchestra conducted by Neeme Järvi. (Sergei was Ukrainian by birth - U.S.S.R. by conquest)

Sinfonieta - Leoš Janáček composer Czech Philharmonic, Jiří Bělohlávek conducting. (the Czech people decorate their alphabet)

Reeling In The Years - Steely Dan

Making music always makes me happy. When I'm gigging with Mrs. Notes, it's our second favorite thing to do Notes ♫

I would have left them in the mower until they grew up. Sorry, I can't mow or the humane society will crucify me.

Heavy whipping cream in fresh ground coffee Siestas Chocolate Becan

I remember those "Voice Of The Theater" speakers we used to lug around. The only thing heavier was a Hammond B3 organ. Notes ♫

Rock Me - Great White

New strings on a guitar A sax reed that is free blowing and responds to my every nuance Applause from the audience at the end of a song Becan

Lucky. It's the slow part of the year for gigging. We played at a huge RV Resort that we do at least once a month. When we started, only 4 people were there. By the time a half hour went by, the place was packed, and stayed that way until the gig was over. Lucky us, that's good for job security. We did play Stevie Wonder and Jeff Beck's "Superstition". Notes ♫

We schlep gear around. Don't need no stinkin' gym membership -- we got "Speakercise" We tell people we play for free, and charge them to move the gear around. Notes ♫

Day Dream - Duke Ellington
