The violin student down the hall is playing "Garryowen"

[Critters2]

over and over and over. Happily, it's time for me to go home and walk the beagle.

Oh, God! It's starting again! Now I know why the Indians slaughtered the 7th Cavalry. If someone were taking my land AND playing THAT...well, I'd make good use of whatever weapon I had on hand. :banghead:

7. LOL!! I'd forgotten about him! nt

[Sequoia]

2. Ha, that's a good one!!!

That Custer had to have his band go everywhere with him.

4. That's nuthin'.

My daughter was in Suzuki violin. Years of Twinkle, Twinkle and hundreds of variations on the theme.

[Critters2]

5. This is Suzuki. There are lessons in the Sunday School rooms

Tuesdays and Wednesdays after school. I can empathize with you. I've heard more than my share of "Twinkle, Twinkle".

[evlbstrd]

10. Ah.

An advanced student.
I like the variation played on the cigar box the best.

[DarkTirade]

8. I can't apologize to my parents enough for having to deal with that.

Thankfully by the time my little sister started playing, we'd found a teacher who didn't follow the Suzuki method. So they didn't have to go through it all over again.

[evlbstrd]

11. That's merciful.

My daughter was awfully cute with her 1/8 size violin, though.

[DarkTirade]

13. Yes, but I'm sure she would have been a lot cuter had that violin not been sawing out

yet another variant on Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. :P

[evlbstrd]

14. Too true.

But she kept playing all through school.

9. but you have not had a trumpet student in the next practice room

--Oh, god, no... not another series of harmonics...AAAAhhh, please stop, I'm losing my mind...fucking trumpet players...(slams practice room door, wearing look that could kill, stalks off, grumbling obscenities under breath)

(piano student)

[DarkTirade]

12. Damn brassholes think they own the joint.

:P

[kentauros]

15. Go find some sheet music to the Psycho soundtrack

and give it to them. There's not much to it, so it should be easy for them to learn it :P
