That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for February 11, 2020

Four years at Juilliard, and he was barely making enough to eat teaching untalented hacks in the suburbs.

“See? We should be jazzing in A Flat, if you know what I mean and I think you do.”

“You don’t c sharp do you? Because that is clearly a d flat!”

‘so, so drowsy… can’t keep my eyes open… should not have taken that ‘luude before the lesson…’

I see trouble on the way.

Her bid to be nominated for Oscar’s “Best Original Score” will fall through.

This is the part where you bite the head off the chicken and then dive into the audience.

They might not be the originals, but her lyrics give a more important information.

Using a guitar as a surrogate, while studying the book, So You Just Had a Baby; this chapter is on breast feeding.

“Sing it again, Samantha.”

Take note here….

Bonnie Raitt,before she discovered fringed leather.

It’s not? So what IS that room on the right? And I’m not going to clean it up, either.

But I’m playing Cage’s 4’33”!

Hold me closer Tony Danza.

Well, in almost every bar in America the sang “..there’s a bathroom on the right.”

“Her dream had come true. She was a folk singer.” Forrest Gump.

“Scuze me while I kiss this guy.”

" Like it or not, Miss Flatstrum … There’s a good reason that the composer put these notes here! "

“You look over here while I find the right down-blouse angle….”

Ah, mondegreens. “The ants are my friends, they’re blowin’ in the wind.” “When you’re looking for your freedom, nobody seems to care, you can’t find the door, can’t find your underwear.”

That “note” is the booger you flicked!

Her talent could not be denied/but it wasn’t until she metClyde/that she took up the booze/ and mastered the blues /and learned the art of the slide.

Oh, so that must be Lady Mondegreen!

So you sold your soul to the devil down at the crossroads and now you’re the best blues guitarist ever? I think maybe you should sue for breach of contract…

What about the line: “ A toy toy round tonightWell it’s bound to take a lie.“

“Yes, that note is a rest. They’re all rests. The composer was trying to tell you something.”

There is a bathroom on the right. I walked in as he stood up. There is a bad moon on the rise.

“I know the end is comin’ soon…”

No, it absolutely won’t work unless you pick it up.

the music man, hoping to et a few licks in on allice, and she is willing, so she doesn’t have to play the damm guitar.

“Oh… I see… So this piece is for flute, not guitar…”

I see some good bread a-risin’ / I see good eatin’ on the way. … Don’t go out tonight / Just pass the butter knife / There’s some good bread on the rise.

It’s “Hold me closer Tiny Dancer, NOT hold me closer Tony Danza!”

It was considerate of Creedence Clearwater Revival to give you those instructions after doing their best to scare the #### out of you.

i’ll never hear that song the same way again!
