– All female parts were sung by castrati. We don’t know ex- actly what they sounded like because there are no known descendants.
– Young scholars have expressed their rapture for the Bronze Lullaby, the Taco Bell Cannon, Beethoven’s Erotica, Tchaikovsky Cracknutter Suite, and Gershwin’s Rap City in Blue.
– Music sung by two people at the same time is called a duel; if they sing without music it is called Acapulco.
– A virtuoso is a musician with real high morals.
– Contralto is a low sort of music that only ladies sing.
– Probably the most marvelous fugue was the one between the Hatfields and the McCoys.

QUOTES OF THE DAY
“Officials in Washington, D.C. have proposed a 24-hour waiting period before people can get tattoos. Or as people who want tattoos put it, ‘You mean we gotta stay drunk for 24 hours?'” -Jimmy Fallon
“A few years ago, they made the movie ‘Freddy vs. Jason.’ They do that all the time. They take two franchises that are totally out of gas and put them against each other. Godzilla was in tons of those movies, like ‘Godzilla vs. King Kong.’ The most uneven was ‘Godzilla vs. Mothra.’ How’s that a fair fight? Godzilla is a giant fire-breathing lizard. Mothra is a big moth. What does Mothra do? Eat holes in all of Godzilla’s sweaters?” -Craig Ferguson
“The Miss America Pageant is coming back on Sunday night from Atlantic City. They’re modernizing the pageant. They’re changing the name of it to ‘America’s Got Implants.'” -Dave Letterman

My 14-year-old daughter, Maggie, and her best friend, Joannie are fans of 60’s music. They recently got front-row tickets to attend a Peter, Paul, and Mary concert in our town.
When they returned home from the concert that night, I wanted to hear all the details of the concert. My daughter says, “Mom, during the show, we looked back an saw hundreds of little lights swaying to the music. At first we thought people were holding up cigarette lighters. Then we realized that the lights were the reflections off all the eyeglasses in the audience!”
