The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for February 22, 2016

You’d still better not get into a Bad Pun War with Stephan, Lennie. Just ask Jef.

Daniel the trombone player

No no, I want the antiphonal psalmody ones!

Thank you.

OK, I just learned a new word – solfege. Roughly it’s a fancy name for the technique in the “Sound of Music” song.

I’d like to see you try an eight day series of puns based on a pentatonic scale.

Um… actually no. I hate puns – especially weakly contrived puns. Pastis occasionally hits some good ones but mostly his are just groaners. Deadlines will do that to you.

This was an interesting creative effort… but don’t do it again.

This is your final warning. ;-)

I may not have written to you, but I appreciated the puns, too!

Dear Lenny: Several times during the past 8 days, I have asked, essentially: “What is so special about D major?” BTW, that middle cat is sharp!!

sigh… just can’t please everybody.

Shucks, I loved all these music puns!

Aw, that’s too bad. :_( Guess I should have told you how funny those puns were!

That’ll be fine. Thanks.

Making up for lost time – I thought the puns were great – though I agree about sole/soul. And I thought Ginger might have been sniffing at the sole, even as a ghost! 8-) And I have a friend that if the 2 of you were in the same room, oy!

Now #5 might actually be funny…..

I liked them.

Pay no attention to the haters. Puns are great; the worse the better!

WHAT?!?

I’ve been quoting them forever since you started. D-lightful, Almight-D, Fa-rever, Re-membered (Re being the absolute D), etc.

Note the quartet I sing in to the left, which is, more often than not, in Bb. I’m the good looking one next to the solid dark shirt.
