Thatās the hardest part of music:
Having something to say when you playā
If you have a hundred whistles,
And you play them every day,
Thatās not enough to make real music
Till you know what you want to say.
During my masters training (in Architecture) we had a seminar about architecture and dance. Seriously. I danced about architecture. Iām not proud of it though. I look back on it as a low point in my life.
This reminds me of an OT joke which I loveā¦
And elderly Orthodox Jewish man comes to his Rabbi and says āRabbi, as you know, my wife and I are going to have a party to celebrate our 60 the wedding anniversary. As you also know, it is forbidden by our tradition for men and women to dance together ( nb: this is true in some Orthodox traditions). On just this one occasion, could I not have the joy of dancing with my wife?ā.
The Rabbi responds āNo, the Law is the Law, and it is forbiddenā.
The man follows with" Rabbi, our tradition does not limit sexual relations between man and wife, and in fact considers this to be a mitzvah ( commandment), right?" to which the Rabbi responds " Yes, this is true".
āSo, if I were to come home in the middle of the day and see my wife making the bed, if I were overcome with love for her I would be within my rights to pull her down on the bed and make love to her right then and there?ā. The Rabbi says " Of course!ā. " And if I were to see my wife dusting in the living room, would it be OK to lower her to the floor and have relations right there?ā Again the Rabbi responds āYes, it would be wonderfulā. The man keeps at it: " And if I were to come home and see my lovely bride of 60 years working in the kitchen cooking my dinner and become overcome with love, would it be allright to make love to her standing right there in the kitchen?ā. The Rabbi says " Absolutely not! Standing up, it might lead to dancing!ā

Paul, Iām pretty sure I got my joke from the same source. What Iām not sure of is whether I heard it from the Jewish branch of my family or (with suitable changes) from the Presbyterian.
Is that me youāre talking about Larry? I thought I was just being honest in admitting that my first joke wasnāt wholly original. My second joke was though.
Seriously though, jokes (which are always welcome) aside, is anyone posting on this thread doing anyhting more than pushing up their post count?
