multi-bus? two? How big is Liverpool? 2 Km wide? I’m trying to understand what’s the part so difficult to believe… or not… that they were able to find a spot in Liverpool so far away and with a route so complicated that you couldn’t go walking and required more than one bus to get there? I took a multi-bus ride once just to watch a movie. One bus to go, one bus to return! :D
This myth has been perpetuated far too long. Baa, baa black sheep is similar but ultimately a different melody than the other two. Music teacher of 28 years here.
So there’s this shy high school student who has never asked a girl to a dance.
He musters up the courage to ask one of his friends.
She says yes. Now he has to prepare for the dance.
The next day, he goes to buy his tickets, and there is a huge line. So he waits, and waits, and finally gets the tickets.
The following day, he goes with his date to get a dress.
When they get to the store, there is a huge line going out the door. So they wait, and wait.
Finally, they get to the front and buy a dress.
After this, they go to men’s outfitters to get him a suit for the dance, and there is a huge line going out the door. So they wait, and wait, and wait. Finally they get in and buy a nice suit.
The next day, he remembers that he needs to order a corsage.
So he goes to the local store and there is a huge line.
So he waits, and waits until he gets his order in.
Now it’s the day before prom and he wakes up and realizes that he forgot to order a limo.
When he gets to the limo-rental office, he sees the line stretching out the door and around the corner. He waits, and waits, until finally he is lucky enough to get the very last limo.
Now it’s the night of the dance and when they get to the prom, the school is doing mandatory drug testing, so there is a huge line getting into the prom. So they wait, and wait.
Finally, they get to the front and both pass their drug tests.
The dance is going pretty good for about a half an hour, until he really, really has to go to the loo.
So he takes off to go and sees this huge line going out of the loo. He waits, and waits until he can go.
When he comes out of the loo, he notices that a crowd has formed around his date.
She has just passed out. Someone says to him,
“Hey, you’re her date; go get her some punch.”
So he goes over to the punch table and thank goodness…
And the rap “artists” do chill with all that multi-carat ice and gold they carry around. PT Barnum beckons.

Music requires musicians, so here’s a name everyone has heard. Mick Jagger.
Mick Jagger was awarded for his lifetime achievement in the music industry for over 55 years.
He didn’t have a date to the ceremony so Kate Moss, who was a huge fan of Mick, volunteered to be with him for the night. It was decided that he’ll pick her up from her hotel. On the evening of the ceremony Mick didn’t pick her up and went straight to the ceremony alone.
B7 is pretty much a Day One chord. But Paul and George couldn’t look it up on Google. There was a book store near me that had a huge, overpriced book with every guitar chord invented. I used to go there and write the chords on the back of my hand.
Okay, that McCartney/Harrison story is pretty lame. “OMG, they had to transfer buses to get from one side of town to the other!” Also that is the worst likeness of the two Beatles ever, up your game Ripley’s BION!
The “Twinkle…” melody is a French song by the name of “Ah, vous dirais-je maman!” going back to the 18th century. Mozart used it for a set of piano variations – popular with piano students – and Ernst von Dohnányi wrote his “Variations on a Nursery Tune” for piano and orchestra on the same theme. It also makes an appearence – in a somewhat altered fashion – in Haydn’s Symphony N° 94 nicknamed “Suprise”.
I must have finally gotten too old to be hip. Everything seems to boils down to SEX. i guess it’s the turn of the youngun’s. Have fun guys/girls, be careful out there. Kids are counting on you for their future; mentally as well as physically. Find a mentor, trust ‘em, You don’t know whether your getting good advice unless you follow it.
Paul McCartney credits his musician father with teaching him how to play (and sing) harmonies, so I’m guessing “B7 chord” was code for something totally unrelated to the playing of music
I noticed that “Help Me Make it Through the Night” and “He Stopped Loving Her Today” share a melody. Also, the tune to “I’m Always Chasing Rainbows” comes from a Chopin tune. This is beautiful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3X_6kgHo-w
Decklan took a shortcut through a lane when he left the pub to go home. Two louts jumped him and were going to rob him.Decklan fought back strongly but they eventually beat him and went through his pockets. They only found 58 pense.“You must be stupid”, said one of the louts. “You fought that hard and took a good hiding for a lousy 58 pense”.“Oh! If I knew that was all ye wanted, I would have give it to ya.”, Decklan replied. “I thought ye was afta the 150 quid I got stashed in me boot”. Birdman, out.

Musician’s Joke: The guitarist of a band walks into their rehearsal room and sees the bassist and the drummer having an argument.
Guitarist: “Why are you arguing?”
Bassist: “The drummer detuned one of my strings.”
Guitarist: “So what’s the problem?”
Bassist: “He won’t tell me which one!”
