Yay! Music Jokes!

Here are some jokes I heard at camp:
Q. What is brown and sits on a piano bench?
A. Beethoven's latest movement!
HA HA HA HA!!!

A piece of string wanted to go into a bar, but there's a giant sign that says "no string allowed." He tried to get in anyway, but the bouncer throws him out. So he ties himself in a knot and was walking back when one end of him caught on a nail, so it was all frayed. Anyway, he goes back into the bar and the bouncer says "aren't you the same piece of string I threw out before???" and the string says "no, I'm afraid not." Say it out loud if you don't get it. If you still don't get, I'll explain the punchline at the bottom.

This one wasn't a camp one, but I really like it. A blonde, a brunette, and a redhead, two dogs and a cat, a Ukrainian, a Norwegian, and an Australian, and a duck, a goose, and a swan walk into a bar. The bartender says "what is this, some kind of joke?"
Ha ha ha! Get it?

Anyway, I had a particularly interesting dream last night. Someone called me (this was my dream) and told me to come to the Burdick building (it's this big auditorium at camp). So anyway I went and there was a band setting up, and it was SOMETHING CORPORATE!! So I was chatting with them, but I only saw Andrew, Clutch, and Brian. Then I had to leave, and someone told me where they were living (apparently they lived in Foam Lake) so I kind of dropped by, and I saw Andrew, but instead of William Tell, the band member was George Harrison. It was right before he died so his cancer was really bad, and he was really tired and weak, and I was like "hi, I'm Robin." and he's like "hi" and I'm like "I'm a huge fan of the Beatles and Something Corporate." and he just nodded and I'm like "you wanna see my guitar?" so I got Konstantine and he's like "I'm not doing any guitar recitals for you." and I was like "no, I will." And I tried to play Classical Gas, but I couldn't! I couldn't get past the first two measures, and he started laughing at me! It was mortifying. So after that I showed my Something Corporate piano music to Andrew, and I think I was playing Konstantine (the song, not my guitar). Then I had to leave, and I saw these two girls standing in line to get into a concert, and I felt so superior because I knew where they lived. Anyway, one of the girls somehow knew that I knew where they lived and she was following me around, trying to find out, so I pretended I was leading her to them and I went to my barn and started playing American Pie on Konstantine, and she got all mad and I ran away and I thought I lost her, so I went back to where Something Corporate was living, but she followed me through a window, and she went nuts. Her eyes were rolling around and she was acting all crazy and she grabbed a knife and was coming after me, but Andrew grabbed the knife and the girl fell on the floor and started giggling crazily and moving around on the floor, and we just ignored her. So yes, that was my dream. How nice.

Anyway, I will talk about technique class. My teacher was Adam Tendler, and on the first day the director would call people who had class with whoever, and the teacher would take us there. So there was a bunch of us left, and I think Tom was like "we have class with Tendler" and apparently it wasn't on the schedule. But like ten minutes later he came and took us to class. Tendler was exactly like Mr. Farrell in that he gets off topic. The first day he was like "I have no idea what I'm supposed to be teaching, so let's get in a circle and introduce ourselves." We had to say who we were, where we were from, what we were working on, and what technique meant to us. For some insane reason we started talking about religion. And Tendler would sometimes just randomly look out the window and see animals. On the first day he's like "look! Beaver!" and Tom was like "that's a woodchuck, not a beaver." And another time he was playing something for us on piano and he looked up and was like "oh, deer!" and I was like "why's he saying that?" but there was actually a deer outside. Another time he was talking about his car and Tom was like "how fast can it go?" and Tendler's like "I usually go fifty (or something like that) but I can get it up to 100" and I was just thinking "that's a crappy car." Then I remembered it was in miles not kilometres.

I was in Wal Mart and saw a DVD for Spiderman vs. Venom or something. I WANTED IT and Mom didn't believe me. She's like "you really want that?" I was like "heck YEAH!"

Can't remember if I said this or not, but several people said I look like Julie Andrews.

Well, I must leave you all. Oh yeah, the punchline for that joke was "I'm a frayed knot" Get it?? Arrivederci everyone!
