Kindling for an accordion fire.

What do you call a group of topless female accordion players?
Ladies in Pain [joke diagram time- an accordionist would understand this joke, as "lady in spain" was a common accordion showpiece back in the day ;) ]

Musicians who promote themselves for comedy acts might just be "tooting their own horns!"

There was a saxophone player of great talent.

But there was a problem. He just couldn't play the bridges of songs. You know..."the B section"- the part of the tune where it gets a little different, before it goes back to the original theme. Every pop song has a "bridge".

A mental block. Therapy may have helped. Who knows? For some reason he just couldn't remember the bridge of any song.

He would impress bandleaders with his talent, but then in the middle of a paid gig this quirk would manifest and embarrass his bandmates and he would get booted out of the band.

He got as far as London England.

Found himself unemployed and blue and stranded in London.

So to express his despair he sat on the window sill of his flat with his sax and began to pour out his despair by playing a passionate version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".

It was so moving that the neighors all stuck their heads out to listen. Some where brought to tears. They all applauded.

But then they all noticed that he kept repeating the same verse over and over. They all got angry and would yell "HEY! Play the rest of the song!". Soon they were throwing bricks at him. Desperately he tried and tried and tried, but he just could not recall the tune of the bridge of that particular song.

Then a brick smacked him on the head, and he fell to the street below.

While lying on the pavement in pain starring above he could hear an ambulance approaching with its British style siren going "HI-LOW-HIGH-LOW-HIGH-LOW.....".

An ambitious young conductor was having a hard time with his first orchestra. He wasn't as smart as as he thought he was, and every time he said something stupid the percussionist at the back played a quiet "b'dmp dmp tish!"

Finally, the conductor lost his temper. "Alright, who the **** keeps doing that?"

winner of the bulwer/lytton bad writing contest-

He was a mediocre conductor of a mediocre orchestra. He had been having problems with the basses; they were the least professional of his musicians. It was the last performance of the season, Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, which required extra effort from the basses at the end. Earlier that evening, he found the basses celebrating one of their birthdays by passing a bottle around. As he was about to cue the basses, he knocked over his music stand. The sheet music scattered. As he stood in front of his orchestra, his worst fear was realized; it was the bottom of the 9th, no score and the basses were loaded.


There's a practical joke that's sometimes played on conductors. Schubert's 8th starts with just cellos and double basses, so they all conspire to play in the wrong key and see how long it take for him to figure out what's going wrong.

A little boy and his mom are watching an opera singer perform on stage while a conductor directs her with his baton. The boy asks, "Mommy, why is that man shaking a stick at that lady?"
"He's not shaking it at her."
"Then why is she screaming at him?

An alien walked into a shop and told the owner that he came from Mars and wanted to buy a brain for research.
''How much is this one?'' he asked.
''That one is a monkey brain, and it's $20,'' the owner explained.
''How much is that one?'' the alien asked.
"That one is a female brain, and it's $100,'' the owner replied.
''And how much is that one?'' the alien asked.
''That one is a conductor's brain and it is $500,'' the owner explained.
''Why so expensive?'' the alien asked.
"Why so expensive?!
The owner answered, ''Well, it's hardly been used!''
