I agree, but I couldn't resist the Fresh Prince pun. That was his rapper name. - - - - - - I quit watching the Oscars in the 1980s. Amadeus, a movie about Mozart came out that year, I watched it because it was music related, and I played Mozart tunes in school. It was an OK movie, but not a great movie. It didn't do well at the box office at all, because most people are just not interested in Mozart and his music. Then it won the best picture Oscar. Next, they did something almost never done. They re-released Amadeus in the first run theaters of the day for a second time, and it turned a tidy profit. Almost everybody wanted to see the Oscar winner. That's when I realized that the Academy Awards is not actually an award show, but an advertisement. Who needs the money? That's probably why Hitchcock never won the best picture Oscar, even though he made some great movies, certainly worthy of the award. But his movies always made huge box-office profits, so he didn't need the Oscar award (read: promotion). That's just my opinion. Now back on topic:

What do they do with many insane people? Sedate them. I Wanna Be Sedated - Ramones

Heroes? How about Superheroes? Superman Lover - Johnny Guitar Watson Mr. Watson was reported to be one of Jimi Hendrix's favorite guitarists.

I'm tired of hearing all this Oscar news, frankly, I don't care about the Oscars at all, but this pun just entered my brain this morning. Did Will Smith leave fresh prints on Chris Rock's face? ♫

You don't have to like the music, just come up with an association. Baby Baby - Amy Grant

(I hope it's safe sax)

Kiss Me Deadly – Lita Ford

The song he's playing has a great hook too.

Every Dog Will Have His Day - Procol Harum

Behind The Rain - Gato Barbieri

groan

Association: Saints and Sinners Sin City - AC/DC

Caesar's trash bin???

Makin' Some Noise - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

This one is definitely lame. And I've never posted this one before, will delete it from my hard drive, and probably won't recognize it and repost it again next time I see it on the net

Exactly!

Sky Pilot - Animals

There are no new jokes, but if you have a short memory like me, you can always laugh at the old ones again

That's only 1/4 of what you need to know, next C, F and G major. they you have it all.

A different take on an old jazz swing standard I've Got You Under My Skin - Mark Murphy

Of course, if you are serious about music, you never quit learning. I've been playing music for a long, long time, and there is still a lot of things yet to be discovered. Notes ♫

You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To - Jazz Standard - I picked this version because I've never heard it before and don't know who she is. I'm posting as I listen, I hope it's OK.

Good points, but if you find the right teacher, you can learn many things that it would take you longer to discover on your own. At least that has been the case for me. Example: YouTube can show you how to play the piano, but a good teacher will fine tune exactly how to curl your particular fingers to be able to play your best. Example: In my early days of playing sax, my teacher fine-tuned how I breathe for maximum breath support, exactly how close to the tip of the mouthpiece to put the reed for my particular embouchure, and how to shape my personal oral cavity to get the fullest tone. From that, I discovered how to change the shape of my oral cavity to get different tones. These are things particular to me, and not exactly like everyone else. Thankfully, I had a good teacher when I was young. I suppose if there was one best way for everybody, there would only need to be one way. Notes ♫
