Tell me if you heard this one:
A drummer walked past the bar...

Kenny G has made a new album featuring his own adaptations of Thelonious Monk compositions.

The album is titled from it's first track:
‘Straight No Changes’

St. Peter in Heaven is checking ID’s. He asks a man, “What did you do on Earth?”
The man says, “I was a doctor.”
St. Peter says, “Okay, go right through those pearly gates.

Next! What did you do on Earth?”
“I was a school teacher.”
“Go right through those pearly gates.

Next! And what did you do on Earth?”
“I was a jazz musician.”
“Go around the side, up the freight elevator, through the kitchen…..”

@J-Jericho said in Music. What is It?:

This...

is music to my ears.

This has it all, rhythm, vocals, words, instruments and yes... a car!

What`s the difference between a baroque trumpeter and a dressmaker?
A dressmaker tucks up frills.

However, maybe if the trumpet player wasn't baroque, the trills would be fixed up!

@BigDub said in A little humour:

People say to me, "A penny for your thoughts?".

But then they want change.

Hey. You can send me one of your paintings that are a product of your thoughts on canvas for a penny.
You can keep the change!

I have been looking at definitions of music. Here they are:

Many Definitions leave out Rhythm
Vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion.
Fundamentally, music is a combination of sounds, and sound is vibration.
Music is a collection of coordinated sound or sounds.
An organized combination of sound and silent moments.

Wikipedia and Marium-Webster Gets More Specific Regarding Rhythm
Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound organized in time.
The science or art of ordering tones or sounds in succession, in combination, and in temporal relationships to produce a composition having unity and continuity
Vocal, instrumental, or mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony

So here are my discussion points.
Can sound not have melody, harmony or rhythm and still be music?
Does sound need to be coordinated?
Does sound need to be organized in time?

Discuss... and if you can, give audio or video examples of your examples:

@Vulgano-Brother said in Who want's to teach me a jazzy lick in C Major(ish)?:

Explore the blues scale.

The put this into action: Spread it make it toasty and now I am talking C Jam Blues:

@Vulgano-Brother said in A little humour:

My teachers hated me.

I was home schooled.

...AND even then, still spent most of the time in the principal's office!

@Vulgano-Brother said in A little humour:

Q: Do you play the Trumpet Voluntary?
A: No, my parents made me do it.

....however, I'd prefer if you'd play "Long Ago and Far Away"

@Kehaulani said in pet peeves:

Not a pet peeve, but with language ambiguities - my son studied one year in England. As part of his orientation program, he was given a three-page paper of words/phrases that mean different things.

And we know what "Randy" means!

Used in a sentence: The lad became randy when he saw his teacher in tight sweater and jeans. [...and I am not talking about a "name change"]

@moshe said in pet peeves:

New Yorkers who say "standing on line" instead of "standing in line".

Also, never order a "Coffee and a roll" in a New York Deli.

They'll give you the coffee, then beat the crap out of you!

To most people, unionize means:

To me, a chemist, unionize means:

A true pet peeve:

Someone could be a nitwit (insult on one's intellect)

OR

Someone could be a nit wit (knowledgeable individual with advanced understanding of lice)

@Tobylou8 said in pet peeves:

To, too. two true! It can be so, sew annoying!

Now THAT is just knit picking!
