The Singer & The Old Man

[TicklishLurker]

A young woman was on stage singing "My Old Kentucky Home" when she noticed an old man crying. So after she was done she went over to him and said, "Excuse me, sir, I couldn't help but see you crying while I was singing. Are you by any chance from Kentucky?"

"No," said the old man between heart wrenching sobs, "I'm a musician!"

So you musically inclined, Mila? I ask because 98% of the time when I tell that joke, only those who are musically gifted understand it - everyone else just stares.

 

[milagros317]

No, I'm not at all talented in music. But I am familiar with that feeling one gets when seeing somebody butcher a beautiful thing that one understands and would love to see done well. 😀

 

[TicklishLurker]

Ah! Okay. I'm used to only those musically inclined getting it. It's nice to see I don't have to explain it.

True story music lovers might find amusing;

One summer the regular classical music reviewer for the NY Times had a month off. A sportswriter who had minored in musicology while majoring in journalism filled in for him. The headline of the first musical review he wrote was as follows;

THE BOSTON POPS PLAYED BEETHOVEN LAST NIGHT: BEETHOVEN LOST, 6-2
