I had a student come in for lessons wearing a shirt that said E=Fb. I just thought it was funny enough to share.

Cooler would have been Fb=mc2. Have to think a little more. ( I also like "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate")

Remember when Homer Simpson was in a barbershop quartet, and they wanted a funny musical name? They called themselves the B-Sharps. B#. Get it?

It wasn't funny, except they were a surprisingly good quartet.

There's a joke in French about Fb being the sickest note because "elle vaut mi" (vomi = puke). Not funny at all in English though.

Fb=mDb^2 or Fb=mB#^2 for more confusion.

A Fb can be technically correct. For example, in the key of Db minor, the 3rd would be a Fb, not a E. My music theory teacher was a symphony player (viola), and we had this discussion in class 1 day. He said he would have to make microtonal adjustments on the fingerboard in these cases. that is parts of the shortcoming of our 12 note scale. Granted, we cant do much about it on a fretted instrument, but that is also the reason for tempered tuning on a piano

B = Cb



Why do the Navy and the Marines play in the same key?

The Navy traditionally plays in C and the Marines in B#

Really corny, but just couldn't resist.

If you had one that said:

E = Fb on the front

and

Fb = mc² on the back
