If you buy a bass with Maple & Walnut it will taste good with ice cream

Let's spread some musical misinformation

Downtown, on the late-nite bar scene, many a good tune has mysteriously floundered and come unglued, in recent times. All loose notes at the end of the bar should be kept in a tip-jar, to avoid unnecessary confusion.
Are you certain? I have heard that he was and that he wasn't.
Schrodinger taught Satriani who went onto teach Vai who thought Ralph Macchio who instructed Will Smith's kids
Also: You can play all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.
Einstein's E =mc2 was originally a theory stating that E(the entertainment factor of the bass sound) is equal to the MC (Music Coefficient of the rest of the band) to the 2nd power...... It's only pure coincidence that the same equation works to explain the fabric of the Universe... Some say this shows the Bass and/or its tup is the mesh that binds the Universe together. and is best explained when spoken in a German accent!

I didn't know Morcambe and Wise made it to The Netherlands!
You can cut your reading time in half by playing every other page. This is especially helpful for symphony orchestras. To spice things up, have the string section play the odd numbered pages and the brass section play the even numbered pages. Simultaneously. This is what The Mothers used to do in concert.
The Birmingham Symphony Orchestra is now pioneering the use of Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies card, with a new set of cards dealt out to each musician for each movement, although viola players are always dealt "Try faking it!" and the percussionist tends to get "Work at a different speed.".
Sting from The Police was the only one to keep his nickname (real name Gordon Sumner)
Andy Summers decided not to keep his nickname 'Itch' and Stewart Copeland didn't keep his nickname 'Spike' either

Back then we used highly illegal aerials and converters to watch BBC telly.
Any instrument that plays in flat keys should play odd pages and instruments that play in sharp keys should play even pages. Except in the southern hemisphere where it is opposite.
What pages should instruments play that don't play in flat or sharp keys at all?
Obviously they would play the rests. Except in the southern hemisphere where they would play inverted rests (i.e. play treble rests in bass and bass rests in treble).
Despite all arguments to the contrary, tone was invented by an unknown scientist under the employ of a notorious nineteenth century mobster known only as Tony the Tickler, or, if you were a wise guy, simply, Tone. That scientist mysteriously disappeared. Tony the Tickler immediately claimed all rights to this incredible, otherworldly device which became known to insiders soon after, as Tone.
To this day, it's a well kept secret: no matter what material goes into your build; no matter what shape or size your instrument, by paying Tony the Tickler's family a tidy sum, and thus gaining the right to install Tone, you'll invariably end up with a top flight, high-priced instrument. If you don't pay, fagedaboutit.
