My personal favorite is when I find mugs and such that try to have music notes written but are completely wrong! I mean really, surely they know someone somewhere who can write an eighth note that's actually darkened in. For a while it looked as though I would be teaching music here. I talked with the head of the "music" department and he told me he had names for the notes (I was thinking something in Arabic...right?): "blanc" (french for white) for a half note and "noir" (french for black) for the quarter. Then I was informed that there were no listening samples - he would just tell a story about mozart then have them "imagine" the piece. Needless to say those jokes got a lot of milage from me! Talk to you later!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
