[QUOTE="Dick Rees, post: 1474, member: 16"] A band leader had a problem.......his guitarist couldn't make a gig at a downtown club. So he put an ad in the union magazine. The only response he got was from an oboe player who had been laid off from the local symphony. "Can you play guitar?" "Yes, it's one of my doubles." "Ever played a club gig?" "Sure, but not for a long time." The band leader (not impressed) decided to test the guy. Holding out his right hand he held two fingers straight up. "Do you know what this means?" "Yeah. Two up means two sharps......key of D. No problem." Band leader holds out his hand again with three fingers pointing down. "That's three down.......key of E flat. No problem." Band leader (still unimpressed) says, "Well, I don't know....." The orchestra guy was getting fed up, so he held out both his hands.......right hand, two fingers up, left hand, three fingers down and says to the band leader, "OK. What's this?" The band leader thinks a while, then says, "I give. What is it?" "Bela Bartok on a club gig." Thank you ladies and germs!!!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
