Some muso jokes that I love

There must be millions of jokes about musicians. Some are crackers and some are not. Many are contentious, especially for drummers. I've heard a lot of these jokes over the years. Some of them made me just about wet myself. Although in most cases I was maybe a little drunk, or a little more than a little drunk when I heard them, I still managed to hang on to them cognitively, and I trust you'll find them as funny as I did. I'm gonna give the drummers a break today and stick to real musicians. Let's begin with some short ones that most people already will know.

A piano-accordion player who'd been entertaining at Bah Mitzvah was on his way home when, succumbing to his sadness, he decided to stop at a roadside pub for a beer or three. He went in the pub and ordered his first beer and, just as he was about to take his first blessed swig of it, he remembered what had occurred previously when he had left his piano-accordion in view of the street on the back-seat of his car. He slammed his beer down un-sipped and bounded outside and sure enough, the back window was broken in and sure enough, there were two more piano-accordions on the back seat.

Peace.
