Tina Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 Almost lost the threads ... what was it about ? I like this one where after the checkup the doctor tells a musician he only got three more days to live. Strange that to my inner eye the musician always appears as a double bass player ... no free reeds here just steel strings (not his nerves though) (now this is not part of the joke). But from what ?

Theo Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 What's the difference between a roadkilled hedgehog and a roadkilled concertina/melodeon/accordion/bodhran (delete as required)? There are skid marks leading up to the hedgehog. Perfect pitch? When the concertina/melodeon/accordion/bodhran (delete as required) you pitch into the skip hits the banjo that's already there.

geoffwright Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Whenever a low-whistle appears in our band, there is always much mirth asking "Is it scaffolding, curtain rails or whale noises tonight?" at which point the low-whistle driver imitates seagulls or does the shower scene from Psycho with it.

Chris Timson Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 What's the difference between a musician and a mutual fund? .....The mutual fund eventually matures and earns money. To the folk musician who won the lottery, "What will you do now?", "The same as before, I guess, play until the money runs out".

JimLucas Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Then there was the concertina player who tried to retune his instrument on stage. .... His tuning jokes were later published as a 5-volume set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Madge Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 (edited) How can you tell if the concert stage is level? If the concertina player dribbles from both sides of his mouth.

stuart estell Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 How can you tell if the concert stage is level?... Hurray, now we're on to the modified viola-player jokes My favourite one of these is one I've usually heard told as being about a violinist and a viola player, but it'll do for boxes as well: Did you hear about the time the concertina player locked his keys in the car? It took three hours to get the melodeon player out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Ghent Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 The english concertina player was just getting stuck into his first pint when he realised he had left his EC in the car. He rushed out, but it was too late. Someone had smashed the window and thrown two more in... yes its an oldie but a goodie... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lildogturpy Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Then there was the guy who went into a second hand shop. The owner was a little surprised when the man spent a long time looking at the radiatior attached to the wall. After a while he wandered around some more and then fixed on the fire extinguisher. Eventually the man came up to the shop owner. "Nice accordion you have there, but how much for the saxaphone?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
