It’s gloomy outside here in Beautiful as we are experiencing the April showers that bring many flowers so that puts me in the mood for the Adagio by Albinoni.

I like the way they pass the dominant melody back and forth. She’s got the hardest part since she has to turn her head to watch him while all he has to do is lift his head to watch her. Methinks they could do better if they faced each other or if they had more confidence in their playing and tempo that they wouldn’t have to look at each other all the time. It detracts from the performance. Yes. Listen to the dude who will never approach their ability on guitar criticize their performance.

Here it is on solo guitar. I like this one more.

This one is from Karl U.

A contestant, Sally, on ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire?’ had reached the final
plateau. If she answered the next question correctly, she would win $1,000,000.
If she answered incorrectly, she would pocket only the $25,000 milestone money.

And as she suspected it would be, the million-dollar question was no pushover.
It was, ‘Which of the following species of birds does not build its own nest but
instead lays its eggs in the nests of other birds?

Is it:

A) the condor

B) the buzzard

C) the cuckoo

D) the vulture

The woman was on the spot. She did not know the answer. She had used up
her 50/50 Lifeline and her Ask the Audience Lifeline. All that remained was her
Phone-a-Friend Lifeline. She hoped she would not have to use it because her
friend was, well, an uninformed voter who had voted for Obungler. But she had no alternative.

She called her friend and gave her the question and the four choices.

The uninformed voter responded unhesitatingly: ‘That’s easy. The answer is C: the cuckoo.’

The contestant had to make a decision and make it fast. She considered employing a reverse strategy and giving Meredith any answer except the one that her friend had given her. And considering her friend was an uninformed voter that would seem to be the logical thing to do. But her friend had responded with such confidence, such certitude, that the contestant could not help but be convinced.

‘I need an answer,’ said Meredith.

Crossing her fingers, the contestant said, ‘C: The cuckoo.’

‘Is that your final answer?’

‘Yes, that is my final answer.’

And Meredith replied, ‘That answer is…. Absolutely correct!
You are now a millionaire!’

Three days later, the contestant hosted a party for her family and friends,
including the uninformed voter who had helped her win the million dollars.
‘Joni, I just do not know how to thank you,’ said the contestant.
‘How did you happen to know the right answer?’

‘Oh, come on,’ said the uninformed voter…
‘Everybody knows that cuckoos don’t build nests. They live in clocks.’

Sally fainted………………………

Catfish sent me this one. (more…)
