Hi, Richard! Here's a riddle for you:


Q. Why was the piano player... as the local constabulary says around these
parts, without specifying the reason... "known to police?"

A. He often got into treble.

Hi, Richard! Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

HOw do you get a guitar player to turn down?

Put sheet music in front of him.

Good one! I can well imagine that such an individual might be more confident when improvising and/or playing by ear, where I'm just the opposite.

There's a drummer in our community band who is at his best when the conductor wants him to do a solo & tells him "Just make up something." I'm at my best when all I have to do is read the notes or when the conductor wants me to keep a low profile & enable somebody else's work to stand out... [chuckle].
