Some More Morning (Or Mourning) Musician Humor...

As you probably do as well, I recently received
an email out of nowhere from an, obviously,
well-meaning marketer who only had my best
interests at heart :=). Of course, I could not
resist the temptation and opportunity for a bit
of light humor. The interchange sorta went
this way...

Email Marketer: "Kenny, are you sick of being a
loser and having to put your dreams on hold?
Tired of finally struggling to find success in an
area you have long desired to be a success in,
and are now ready to knuckle down and forge
ahead?"

KL: "No Sir...thank you for your interest and
kind efforts, however, after long and much
consideration, I have arrived at the conclusion
that there is far more to life than success. For
instance, the opportunity to continue struggling
so that your struggling skills always remain sharp
and at their peak. And, believe me...there is no
greater feeling to know that whatever arises in
your life, you can instantly adapt and turn on
your Richard Simmons attitude and get through
this struggle as well, and as you have with the
many in your past and the many to come in your
future. Therefore, I have found it rejuvenating,
no, actually invigorating to keep my dreams on
hold just for the purpose of sharpening my
struggling skills because, in doing so, it gives me
something to look forward to each day."

In Advance, My Apology To All Drummers :-)

A drummer, having had his fill of being the butt
of many drummer jokes, decides to change his
instrument. After some careful thought, he
decides on the accordion. He visits a music
store and speaks to the manager.

"I'd like to look at your accordions, please."

The owner, while gesturing to a shelf in the
corner, responds, "All our accordions are over
there."

The drummer goes to the corner, browses the
instruments for a few moments, then tells the
manager, "I think I'd like the big red accordion
that is closest to the wall."

The store owner looks at the drummer with a
questionable expression, smiles slightly, then
says, "You're a drummer, aren't you?"

The drummer, amazed, responds, "How do you
know? No, don't tell me...you're psychic, aren't
you?"

The store owner, hesitates for a moment, sighs,
then answers, "Heck, no...not at all...that `big
red accordion' in the corner is our store's
radiator."

A researcher arrives in a remote third world
country known for its natives' deadly violence
from where few outsiders have ever returned.
As such, the natives rarely see anyone who
looks different from themselves.

The researcher, aware of the consequences,
has come to gather data for his thesis on the
mating behavior of the country's giant alligator.

However, prior to leaving his homeland, and with
having been advised and warned of the country
by his superiors, for his safety and security, the
researcher decided it best to conduct some
background on the country prior to his leaving.

In his investigation, he learned that the natives
communicate by drums from village to village.
He also learned that the communication can
range from the slightest pleasant greeting to
the notice of an oncoming war between villages.

On the first night, and after having been asleep
for several hours, the researcher is abruptly
awakened to a strange rhythm being played on
tribal drums.

As the drums become louder, seem to be coming
closer, and the rhythm becomes even more
strange, the researcher awakes his assistant and
says, "I don't like the strange rhythm of those
drums."

More loudness, more closeness, and more
strange rhythm ensue.

Now becoming slightly fearful and rising to his
feet, the researcher says louder, "I really don't
like the strange sound of those drums!"

Suddenly, the drums stop, now raising the
researcher's panic button and paranoia levels to
a new high.

Then, a voice from the darkness and in the
direction of the drums cries out, "Hey man, chill
out already! He's not our regular drummer! Our
regular drummer is playing a Jazz gig tonight!"
