Tchaikovsky

A Job With the Band

Jim Bob (pictured), even though a Texan, had never really liked country music.  His real love was Tchaikovsky–Swan Lake, etc.   After band in high school, a degree in music from the University of Phoenix (on line), and finally taking a doctorate in modern classics from Juilliard, Jim Bob was hoping for a job with a major orchestra, maybe in the percussion section where his natural talents lay.

Fish Dance Lessons

Seymour (bottom) had to admit it, the fish dancing lessons were not going well.  His friends told him they couldn’t tell if he was doing the Tennessee Waltz, the Watusi, the Locomotion or the Swan Dance from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake Ballet . . .

Al Invented Music

Al Gore, while touring China with his band The AlGoreRhythms, had played at a prestigious Chinese center of learning and had been asked to speak about how he had invented music several years before inventing the Internet.  When several western reporters asked if maybe Bach, Tchaikovsky, Elvis, Al Jolson or various angelic choirs hadn’t maybe preceded him by a little, his response was that those allegations  were simply bigoted, uninformed right wing Tea Party propaganda from Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh . . .
