Metronome - a city-dwelling dwarf 

Allegro - a growth spurt 

Augmented fifth - the fancy bottle of Single Malt  

Bach chorale - the paddock behind the barn  

 

How do you get a fiddler off your front porch?

@fiddlerman. should we use UPS or Fedex for the hair samples?  I assume ziplock bags will suffice.

Anyone been fiddling outside this weekend?

The weather's been GREAT lately, but a bit more like August for Michigan. 

Anyone going camping? 

Thought I'd share a really old tune (you've probably heard) that you can play - it's some camping humor for the kids. 

 

Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (Camp Granada Song)

 

Play-along sheet music!

...thought this was a cool photo, until I looked closer. 

There's NO bridge or strings!!! 🤨

Guess I haven't gotten my fill of Egon's playing in the Egon Egemann Thread, yet - so sharing these just for fun!

 

"Der Google"! 

This one really makes me happy - going to have to learn it, now!

 

"Lederhosen Joe"! 

 

...I can tell these are humorous, can pick out some meaning, but mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut - any help translating would be appreciated!

@SharonC They are so funny! If I did that my husband would never come when I told him a bee, spider, mouse (4 legged kind), or whatever was in the house. Cannot risk that! 

Thanks for sharing that.

@ELCBK I just played your 471 Post asking Alexa to play sea shanty. Should have turned my pad volume down. My Alexa is now playing it! Funny, it is right in time with your video post.

@Mouse  The guy in the garage kills me. . .  "Open the Door!" laugh

Two of my Echo's did the same thing for Emily's post 471 --freaked the cat out.

@Mouse -

Thank goodness I renamed my Alexa(s) - so I can talk about them (behind their back 😁). 

Bad enough I hear a prompt just because I cough... so much for this A.I. 'not listening in'. 🤨
