^ Some good ones!
Some humorous quotes on music:
Don't bother to look. I've composed all this already.
- Gustav Mahler, to Bruno Walter, who had stopped to admire mountain scenery in rural Austria.
Wagner's music is better than it sounds.
- Mark Twain
Never look at the trombones. It only encourages them.
- Richard Strauss
In opera, there is always too much singing.
- Claude Debussy
"Harpists spend ninety percent of their lives tuning their harps and ten percent playing out of tune."
- Igor Stravinsky
When told that a soloist would need six fingers to perform his concerto, Arnold Schoenberg replied, "I can wait."
And if there were a god, I think it very unlikely that he would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence - Russell
(Sorry for the French accent)
B.B King’s girl friend wanted to surprise her man. She had two new tattoos on her butt. One big B on each buttock. So on the evening she started slowly to make a strip tease and then she bends out to show her tattoos. Then B.B King shouts ‘who the heck is BoB?’

“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”
Actually, I must say, that I put up with the accordion in most of these cases, but it's also a reason why I don't have any Hollmer solo or Hanster stuff.
I would much prefer Tango if it had anything better than an accordion (I love a string quartet playing tango music). Though I will admit, that the only Steely Dan album I loathe is Gaucho. No wonder they called it a day after that!! how low can you stoop and remain credible )
Being of French culture, I must say that I absolutely loathe that part of the culture: the popular French bal-musette (this is the equivalent of cpountry dances in the midwest) and the 1900's to 30's riverside cafés clichés, where the accordian ruled the sonic spaces.
OK, I get it... any musician joke works, just replace the instrument with the bandoneon
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
A couple of good albums that feature accordion are 8 Armed Monkey and Quiver by KTU with Kimmo Pohjonen - accordion, voice; Samuli Kosminen - accordion samples, voice samples; Trey Gunn - Warr guitar; Pat Mastelotto rhythmic devices.
You mean there isn't a negative side?
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
I really wanna hear the story of the brass rat. What was that all about?
What do you call a pretty girl on a drummer's arm?
A tattoo
For the record, here's the apparently accurate Hunter S. Thompson quote:
"The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason.
Which is more or less true. For the most part, they are dirty little animals with huge brains and no pulse. "
According to: http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/dub...thompson_2.htm
this comes from a Thompson authored book called Generation of Swine: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the '80s
