Musician Jokes

I haven’t been controversial enough recently, so I thought I would post a couple of musician jokes. I know there are other guitar/bass players in Ubuntuland. You should enjoy these. Feel free to post follow-ups, including guitar player slams in the comments (which have always been turned on for my blog). Yes, I know some of these are older than dirt. If any of them offend you, you are being too sensitive. Q: What’s the difference between a banjo and an onion? A: Nobody cries when you cut up a banjo.


Q: What’s the last thing a drummer says to his band members? A: “Hey guys I wrote a song!”


Q: What’s the difference between a trampoline and an accordion? A: You take your shoes off before you jump on a trampoline.


Q: How can you tell when there’s a lead singer knocking at your door? A: He doesn’t know when to come in.


Q: How many divas does it take to change a light bulb? A: One…she holds the bulb and the world revolves around her.


Q: How many bluegrass musicians does it take to change a light bulb? A: Four…one to do it and three to complain because it’s electric.


Q: How many sound men does it take to change a light bulb? A: Two…two…two


Q: Who plays with musicians? A: Drummers.


Q: How can you tell when the stage is level? A: The drummer drools out of both sides of his mouth at once.


Q: What is the definition of an optimist? A: A trombone player with a beeper.


Q: The quote you will never hear. A: There goes the trombone player in his new Porsche.


Q: A trombone player and a frog pass each other on the street. What is the difference between the two? A: The frog is probably on his way to a gig.


A musician dies and goes to Hell. He gets down there and, to his amazement, there is a wailing band just a-cookin’. He listens a while and then is asked to get up and jam. He does so and is having a blast. He is having the BEST time. After about three hours he begins to get a little tired and turns to the cat next to him and whispers, When do we take a break?


Another musician dies and goes to Heaven. St. Peter says, So…you’re a musician. Well we’ve got a pretty good band up here ourselves. Let me show you. The musician is ushered to a place where a wailing band is playing. He is flabbergasted. On guitar is Jimi Hendrix, on bass, Jaco Pastorius, drums, Buddy Rich, Dizzy Gillespie is blowing on the trumpet, Charlie Parker on sax, and Duke Ellington on piano. The musician says, Wow…this is great! St. Peter says, There’s just one problem…God’s got a girlfriend he thinks can sing.


Q: How can you tell if a roadie is dead? A: The doughnut falls out of his hand.


Q: What does New Age music sound like backwards? A: New Age music.


Alright, in all fairness… Q: How do you get a guitar player to turn down? A: Put a chart in front of him.

The Best Free Software

I read an interesting article today at PCMag.org on their opinions on the best free software, meaning free as in cost. I was especially pleased to find that most of what they listed in their “Hall of Fame” section is also free as in liberty, and that the list includes Ubuntu.
