Let's spread some musical misinformation

In celebration of Pi day, members of Oasis, the Verve, New Order, the two surviving Beatles, and a host of other Northern bands had a pie each.

Well that's good they had pie and not a slice of Tort.

Ancient cultures had recorded music.

Every tribe and clan had one man and one woman that were deemed Mystic Wurlitzians. They learned every song by heart and on Saturday nights you could get them to sing your request by offering them food and drink items as well as small tradeworthy goods.

If your song was an instrumental they were skilled at imitating instruments also.

Wurlitzians from different tribes and clans would often team up and go on tour.

Wow! Fender's new tort pickguard design?

That would be peachy, but out of respect for Leo, the new Torte pickguard isn't because Leo was allergic to peaches. So just the usual assorted cantaloupe balls, strawdleberry and Kiwikki slicings with some blueberets.


Many early blues players were referred to as "smoking hot players" as they had built their guitars from cigar boxes and most were heavy smokers.

Old blues musicians would regularly build and play new instruments, getting a new instrument built whenever they finished the contents of their box of Cohibas. Heavier smokers, of course, changed their instruments more frequently – thus giving rise to the term dirty blues for those infrequent smokers' instruments.

If they broke an instrument, they would chain-smoke or visit a delivery waiting-room to speed up the build of their next instrument.
