Here in Reno, July is Art Town where all the local arts groups put on various shows and activities. On any given day there are eight or nine things going on from music concerts, art shows, and even the occasional poetry reading. All of this is just to highlight the active art community we have here. The church I attend hosts a Thursday night concert series during July. Last night was a capella choir with a Barbershop quartet and last week was a brass group. Not sure what next week is, but here’s what I know about music concerts:
Just so you know, classical music can be a scam … you’ll pay hundreds of dollars to see Mozart, but every time it’s just a cover band and not the real Mozart.
In my twenties, I was in the will call line for a concert and I started a conversation with the lady in front of me. It was the first time I used a pick up line to talk to a woman.
My grandson son asked to borrow some money so he could go see a 50 Cent concert. I gave him a dollar and said, “Take you’re girl friend too.”
Why didn’t Bach attend Vivaldi’s concert? Because he was baroque.
I saw a Justin Bieber concert ticket nailed to a tree so I took it — you never know when you might need a nail.
How many choir directors does it take to change a light bulb? No one knows — nobody ever watches the director.
Here’s a DIY tip: To make a bandstand, take away all their chairs.
What’s the difference between a piano and a fish? You can’t tuna a fish.
Little know fact: Balloons hate pop music.
What do you get when you drop a piano on an army base? A flat major.
What do you get when you drop a piano down a mine shaft? A flat miner.
Why was the soprano standing on a ladder? Too reach the high notes.
Mozart didn’t like chickens, they kept going, “Bach, Bach, Bach!”
What did they call the drummer in the three-piece suit? “The Defendant”
At the concert last night a little girl said to her grandmother, “When I grow up I want to be a musician.” Grandma replied, “Oh honey, you can’t do both.”

By a narrow margin from the joke about the drummer, the best one has to be ” To make a bandstand, take away all their chairs”.

Several years ago, I went to my first ‘choral symphony’. It was amazing. It sounds like a lovely way to kick off the weekend. 🙂
