onewilyfool Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Q: How many bluegrass players does it take to change a light bulb? A: None. They won't touch anything electric. Q: How do you make a banjo players car more aerodynamic? A: Take the pizza delivery sign off the roof. Q: How do you get an musician off your front step ? A: Pay for the pizza. Q: How do you get an electric guitarist to turn down his amp ? A: Put a piece of sheet music in front of him. A one time musician reaches adulthood...it does happen...gives up the rock and roll life style and marries. He gets the mortgage and the kid. The child reaches his teenage years and hearing of Dad's youthful adventures decides that he too would like to become a musician. Dad says, "Okay, but you must do this properly and take lessons on the instrument. What do you want to play?" Junior replies, "I want to be a bass player." "Fine," says the proud Dad and he goes out and buys a Junior a bass and amp and arranges for the lessons. Junior returns from his first lesson and Dad asks how it went. "Great!" says the lad,"I learned all the notes on the E string." "Terrific!", Dad replies. The next week Junior returns from the 2nd lesson. Dad asks again how it went. "Cool", says Junior, "I learned all the notes on the A string." "Good progress," smile Dad. The next week Dad comes home to find Junior sitting with his Nintendo. "Hey, I thought you had a bass lesson today. " Junior looks up and says, "Yeah, but I blew it off, I've got a gig." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the one I heard, when junior comes home from what pop thinks is his fourth bass lesson, he enquires: "Son, I thought you had a bass lesson today?!?" Whereupon junior informs him, "Sorry, dad, I'm DONE with lessons -- I've got a gig with a country band!" A great joke, nevertheless! Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ I'd think trumpet music would be relatively easy to read...one note at a time....on a guitar you have to play up to 6 notes at once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustystrings Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 My personal favorite, swiped from another forum and edited a bit - A lady goes to her doctor because she just doesn't feel well. They run many tests, and the lady is summoned to the office for a consultation afterward, which goes something like this - "I'm sorry, ma'am, but you have about six months to live." "Six months! That's not long at all - what should I do?" "I would recommend that you find and marry an acoustic finger-style guitarist." "How would that help?" "Well, it wouldn't have any effect on the course of your illness - but it WOULD make those six months seem like all eternity." (obligatory rim shot - see, we do occasionally sorta need a drummer ...)

onewilyfool Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Too funny! Do you know the best sound a banjo ever makes? When it hits the bottom of the dumpster :-) There was a guy on the way home from a gig who decided to stop at the local watering hole on the way home. He pulled up and went inside and ordered up. He was half way through his second cold one when he realized he had left his truck unlocked with his banjo sitting in plain view on the seat. He ran outside in a blind panic to lock the truck. When he got to his truck he was too late...sure enough, there were already two more banjos sitting next to his on the seat :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearbasher Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 A drummer and a bass player are walking along a beach in California. They find an old bottle in the sand and when they open it a genie appears. The genie says: “I am a great and powerful genie, for releasing me after 1,000 years of captivity; I will grant you any wish you desire.” The drummer and the bass player talk it over and the drummer says: “Well, our band is going on a European tour and we are both afraid of flying. So, can you build us a bridge from here to France? This way, we can drive there.” The genie thinks about it for a minute and says: “Just think of the logistics involved, all that steel and concrete that needs to be used for the construction of such a long bridge. Think of all the cities it has to be routed around. I have to build it over mountains and across the sea. I’m sorry, but such a thing is impossible, even for a great genie like me. Since I can’t grant you this wish, I will give you two wishes instead of one. Once again, the drummer and bass player talk it over and the drummer tells the genie: “Ok, since we are both getting tired of traveling with the band and dread flying to Europe, we would like to change careers. Can you make me smart enough to be a lawyer and my friend smart enough to be a doctor?” The genie thinks this over long and hard and replies: “So, would you like lights on that bridge?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
