What do you call an Australian who's good with a bat?

A vet

(sorry I just saw it and couldn't resist posting)

that reminds me of a joke I read this morning in the paper...
What do you call an Australian with a bottle of champagne in his hand?

A waiter

With due apologies to any Australians reading, there's loads of these sort of jokes on the BBC cricket live feed, which is still on the website

ahh, I'm sure they'll get revenge next year .....

Just spotted this in Viva Piano. Bad times

Tonight my sax teacher is playing a gig with a bass player who used to play with Miles Davis.

This means that I will have played a gig with someone who's played a gig with someone who's played with Miles Davis!

Today I was playing piano at Mass and the Deputy Prime Minister was sitting behind me

.

Not enough "not worthy's" possible!!!!!

Finding some photos from a friend's 18th birthday party last summer can reveal some hilarious things-there's a hilarious one of a group of us looking very confused as one of the lad's mother sprays us with perfume! (I had complimented her on her eyeshadow, and she pulled out her perfume and started offering all the girls a spray-very confusing!) I like memories

You really don't want to know; it wasn't pretty!



I escaped flu, but it was a nasty bug. Much better now, thanks!

Also, I've moved my piano to the opposite end of the room so it's no longer next to the computer. The result is no more interruptions to my practice, and less compulsion to spend ages browsing t'interweb when I'm at home.

Belated Happy Birthday Barry! (obviously didn't frequent random comments yesterday =p

Thanks Juniper

Happy Anniversary Boxing Day Barry.

that's a nice way of putting it! Thanks, Clarimoo

Me too

Aw, thanks Dawn

There appear to be too many ledger lines at the end of this piece....!!

High ones or low ones?

High.

Barry - so sorry to be late offering congratulations on your anniversary.

It was unforgiveable, and it would serve me right if you forgot mine ...


which is tomorrow

(sorry - really - couldn't resist)

Ooh , but its your seventh Maggie! Anyway congrats to both you and Barry

High ones are FUN



I'll see if I can remember Thanks MM

This one is a little too high... honest!

I bet it's still really good FUN

I'm not sure whether I ought to attempt it without a safety net though......

No net, no net!!!!!!

Wouldn't it be better to wait to be properly instructed?

Yes.

Then do it with no net.

I sent an email drawing attention to the offending note.........I'm guessing that it was overlooked as it is rather unexpected.

I bet it's a lovely, lovely note. And I bet it's FUN

on the back page of the new 'Libretto' there's a ad for the sheet music to 'Interval Song'

Is that Django Bates's 'Interval Song'?

Yep

I got to play the new baby grand piano at school today, and to be totally honest, I didn't like it!! It's got a lovely tone, but what the touch I would play with for forte on the uprights downstairs barely even made a sound on this piano!! (Granted, I do have a very very light touch). It's beautifully shiny, but I don't think I'm a fan

Aww, I know how you feel! But... it might not be the piano's fault. If you get used to playing with a deeper tone (which comes in handy, since most good grand pianos require a deeper touch than uprights), you will ultimately be rewarded!

On a completely different topic... I'm eating way too much chocolate today...

Been told to leave it alone for now. It's the final note so the rest is not off limits.

Please join me in a drink to celebrate my seventh anniversary on the forums -

*hands round glasses*

... and a huge thank you to all forum friends for so much advice, support, amusement, cake, etc etc.

cheers! !

Congratulations, Maggie!

I just happen to be sitting here with a glass of red in my hand Cheers Maggie, and Congratulations!

Congrats maggiemay

Cheers, maggiemay, and welcome to the Seven Year Itch club.
