I did NOT screen all of the pages. I take no responsibility for any off color jokes that MAY be there (I did not see any though).

David Hasselhoff.

Gary wins.

Not too sure I get it Gary, but I think that $62.36 for a CD by him is a joke!!!

Mozart did at least one good practical joke: K617 :laughing:

Have you ever seen Mozart’s Table Music for 2? You sit across from each other at the table and play the same part. One person reads the part upside-down. It actually works very well.

Dana

So I did play it safe saying “at least”… Any chance you know the K-figger, or just the full zoological name (the one in pig-latin :slight_smile: ) for your “T. for 2” ? Seems like fun!

I didn’t know you were from North Carolina!!
And there’s a little…um…“crack” showing in that picture. You might want do a little photoshop. :roll:

That reminds me of my last trip to Georgia. At a flea market I found a beautiful painting of an old gas station. The kind with the old ringing pumps. In front of the building stood one of those old pop/soda refrigerators selling Pepsi. The artist had done an excellent job of conveying a sultry summer night in the south. I told the proprieter how much I liked it and asked him why he only wanted $45 for it. He said because of the Pepsi cooler. People in Marietta wouldn’t buy it!

I couldn’t buy it cause I didn’t have room in my car to haul it. :cry:

I found it on the net under “Der Spiegel Duet”, or the mirror duet. It’s attributed to Mozart, but there’s no proof.

Dana

Bach has one of those in the Musical Offering. It’s sometimes called “crab cannon”.

How do you get a drummer to start practing?
Start tuning your guitar.

What I want to know is, how do you get a drummer to stop practicing?

Dana

Tell him you’ve got a gig…?

Slan,

Talking of which, though it’s not a cannon but rather a fugue (in more than one sense), do you know

the Blight of The Fumblebee by G. Mulligan + P. Desmond?

praise whistler? Why wasn’t I notified! :laughing:

When and how did that site come into existence? I’ve been playing in a praise band for three years!

Mack Hoover is the founder of Praise Whistlers forum. Come visit!

Dana

Yess my pretty. I saw your avatar on that site. A vast conspiracy I’d say.

Darn you people! Got me all curious about those mirror/table songs and I can’t find free sheet music to them so I can test them out.

The mirror duet allegedly by Mozart can be found in the Amadeus Book of the Violin by Walter Kolneder, on page 332. It’s published by Amadeus Press and despite the title is about the history of the violin in general. -According to Kolneder, Haydn also wrote this form of duet and he goes on to say the compositional process is actually fairly simple. Easy for him to say! --mike
