Herman by Jim Unger for June 14, 2020

Hopefully, he has good timing.

I attended music school for ten years to graduate in triangle, castanets and Tibetan horn with full marks.

We all need goals in life.

Maybe he can just run the applause tape.

What is the name of Herman’s wife? Hiswife. Think about it. He is Herman. She is Hiswife. Could it be that my brain just fried?

There’s an opening in the cafeteria.

So he can play a ding-a-ling part?

He’ll probably hold it in his hand, and wonder why it doesn’t make any noise when he strikes it.

I knew a cadet at the U.S. Military Academy: he played lead cannon in the 1812 Overture.

If the triangle was considered a single section on its own, that might work. It isn’t used as often as most of the percussion section, so he would only have to show up once in a while.

Still have to be able to read music…lol

Well, ring a ding ding.

If you miss your part with a percussion instrument, you’ll stick out like a sore thumb.

In time he might even master the kazoo.

If he aims higher, he could go for cowbell. WE NEED MORE COWBELL.

I believe even I could be a Trianglist! ;o}

The problem with playing triangle is timing. Don’t do it at Exactly the right time and everyone thinks you’re an idiot (not to mention a distraction)

The Symphony’s need is acute…

Sorry, guy, Ed Grimley just got that job!
