Music Jokes

[cherub_rocker1979]

Do you know any jokes about music or musicians?  Here's one:

What is the difference between a double bass and a coffin?  The difference is that when it comes to the double bass, the dead person is on the outside.

 What's the difference between a violin and a viola?

       1. The viola burns longer.
       2. The viola holds more beer.
       3. You can tune the violin.


We all know that a viola is better than a violin because it burns longer. But why does it burn longer?

    It's usually still in the case.

Sorry to spoil the "fun" here, but when the double bass player is Corrado Canonici and when the performance is that of my string quintet, for example, the "joke" folds flat as can be, just as does that about any viola player joke in the face of the astonishing achievement of the great Levine Andrade in the same work and amply elsewhere. These kinds of joke are all very well, but they can take no account of individual players such as these.

Pay for the pizza.

That's all very well, but surely it's all that pizza that (in part, at least) ensures that you have no sides to split (as I implied earlier)...

Best,
