Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for May 25, 2015

My favorite is the first one—E.

Isn’t anybody on staff?

Looks like everybody’s out, taking notes.

3 measures, 3 key changes, no notes… I’m gonna need an intro.

Dave Coverly, Master of Thinking Outside the Box! Well done!

“G … Let’s C, I think A good one might B E”

Either way you’re both in treble.

What a bass question. Anyway, that guy wasn’t very sharp.

That joke sure fell flat

You two should jump up and join the party.

Just going to get some REST today.

There’s ice on the sidewalk outside. If you don’t C#, you’ll Bb.

Do they need a note from their mothers ?

Excellent joke! Or as the young people say, LOL.

But will you also get a Minor?

There must be a key to understand this joke.

Major Minor?

Has he picked A major? There’s six to choose from and six not there including A major. We need an answer.

the story goes that one orchestra had an arrangement of beethoven’s ninth where the basses had a long stretch with nothing to do in the middle. they tied those pages of the score together, so they could flip easily from their one part to the other. they’d slip backstage and play a hand of poker and pop back onstage for the big finish. well, one night, the one bass player whose wife was expecting got word that his wife had been taken to the hospital and given birth to a fine healthy boy.well, the bass players broke out a flask and consumed a fair amount of it by the time they were supposed to go back on stage. just to recap for those of you who have lost track of where this story is going—- it was the bottom of the ninth, the score was tied, and the basses were loaded.

Are minors allowed in drinking songs??

I couldn’t even pick a minor. I was too keyed up…

A C, an Eb and a G walk into a bar, the bartender says I don’t serve minors, so the Eb goes home and the C and the G share a fifth between them.

Remember. In order to B sharp. You have to C sharp.

@Already Fuzzy and @ J ShortBravo.

Why jean, I haven’t even picked a clef…
