Here's another enharmonic link.

In a famous guitar reading method book, there's a simple folk song called
"Aura Lee".
Later, Elvis reinvented it as "Love Me Tender"
I teach the combo as "Love Me Orally"

Next joke you make like this one I will laugh Lee: promised, I swear.

This kind is very similar to jokes you can read from now and then on the french forum ... Hmm my last assertion needs a slight adjustment: not from now and then in fact.

All the time!

Jokes are like jazz. You get a topic or a chord progression and create something in reaction that takes the listener on an entertaining journey.
If you jam, it's this dialogue or call and resoponse between players that is intigueing.
So remember, when your group plays blues, it's "all for one" and "I IV V"

Only if the group is a quintet.

An aside, a group I was in, "The Insanitizer", did Girl from Impanema with a straight-out read of the head, then a full-blown double time acid-jazz-punk-no-wave feedback assault, then back to the head. Mixed reactions.

I understand the second joke but not the first.

Whenever my dad plays that one (on keys) with a singer, they always throw in some extra lyrics at the end, "because she is blind...", hehehe. :)

Don't worry, Stephane, the first one is just a rhyming joke and a reference to a common phrase from World War 2. Iwo Jima is an island, south of Tokyo, that the U.S and Japanese fought over, during the war. The phrase "Battle of Iwo Jima" is referenced a lot in movies, so a lot of people have heard of it.

Cheers,

EG
