A Little Bit of Humor...
A conductor was having a lot of trouble with one
drummer. He constantly gave this guy personal attention and much advice, but his performance simply didn't
improve. Finally, before the whole orchestra, he said, "When a musician just can't handle his instrument and
doesn't improve when given help, they take away the instrument, give him two sticks, and make him a drummer."
A stage whisper was heard from the percussion section, "And if he can't handle even that, they take away one
of his sticks and make him a conductor."
A tourist in Vienna is going through a graveyard and all of a sudden he hears some music. No one is around, so he starts searching for the source.
He finally locates the origin and finds it is coming from a grave with a headstone that reads: Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827. Then he realizes that the music is the Ninth Symphony and it is being played backward! Puzzled, he leaves the graveyard and persuades a friend to return with him.
By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has changed. This time it is the Seventh Symphony, but like the previous piece, it is being played backward.
Curious, the men agree to consult a music scholar. When they return with the expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing, again backward. The expert notices that the symphonies are being
played in the reverse order in which they were composed, the 9th, then the 7th, then the 5th.
By the next day the word has spread and a throng has gathered around the grave. They are all listening to the Second Symphony being played backward.
Just then the graveyard's caretaker ambles up to the group. Someone in the crowd asks him if he has an explanation for the music.
"Oh, it's nothing to worry about" says the caretaker. "He's just decomposing!"

A Little Bit
of Humor...
A drummer, tired from being ridiculed by his peers,
decides to learn how to play some "real" musical instruments.
He goes to a music store, walks in, approaches the store clerk, and says
"I'll take that red trumpet over there and that accordion."
The store clerk looks at him a bit funny, and replies
"OK, you can have the fire extinguisher but the radiator's got to
stay."

DJ's or schools, churches, groups, associations and organizations that sponsor music driven events. Clean Dance

In May 2001, we were at the Richlandtown Inn, in
Richlandtown, Pennsylvania. We stopped in with my sister and
brother-in-law after two days of moving them into their new home.
Expecting a quiet place to have a couple of drinks, we were greeted by the owner
and ushered to a front row seat where we experienced the most awesome show -
Harry Petaccio at his amazing keyboard. The show was delightful and we
were mesmerized by his talent, quick wit, antics, and wonderful renditions of
theme songs from commercials and TV shows of years gone by. If you're ever
in the Philadelphia area, be sure to see where Harry will be performing.
You will be glad you did! Check out his Web site for his schedule.
