Dear Folks, For the past couple of days I've been having an exciting exchange with one of our listmembers on the subject of classical music. She has many degrees in the field of music and she's been trying to teach me the difference between a minor chord and a major chord. Frankly, she stirred up a lot of interest on my part. In the midst of our talking about the subject, when niece Deb came over yesterday afternoon she told me a cute joke that fit in with the subject of music. Question: What do you get when you throw a piano into a mine shaft? Answer: A Flat Miner! When I shared that joke with Mary Ellen, she came back with a couple of her own answers: And, I suppose if that mine shaft is in the deep south, it's De Flat Miner! Then there's "Gee, flat miner!" And, "See, flat miner!' See what you started? I found that hilarious and just the thought of it right now, it still makes me smile. I just had to share that with you. vee
