Piano jokes!

Good Day Readers:

While listening to a CBC Radio program (Living out loud - The Piano Show) hosted by Chris Howden (www.cbc.ca/livingoutloud) this afternoon found these jokes in a segment about the life of a piano tuner.

What do you get when you drop a piano down a mine shaft? A flat miner.
What do you get when you drop a piano on a military base? A flat major.

Then there was this - seriously!

Laia Martin is a pianist studying at the Consevatoire in Barcelona. She is 26 and by all accounts gifted but her ex-neighhbours are taking her to court for 'psychological damage' caused by her playing. Their lawyer is asking for a seven and a half year jail sentence. According to plaintiffs, she practiced incessantly 8 hours a day five days a week from 9-6 with an hour break. They called the parents accomplices and compared her music to the noise from a disco or an airport.



Had enough yet?

Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk

Postscript
Seriously, some excellent radio programming. Currently the site has a couple iPods posted both very good especially, The voices of Vern Nash. A young Toronto filmaker discovers his neighbour was once a jazz pianist in Montreal, a talented but troubled man with music in his soul but demons in his head. The transformation in the man when he sat down to play the piano was unreal.
