More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This work is expanded, updated - and even more hilarious! It is a comical compilation of more than 200 musical definitions that will appeal to all music buffs. "A Musician's Dictionary" takes a hilarious look at all those stuffy musical terms and provides a suitable alternative, viz: Aria: What you get when you multiply a singer's length by their width; Flute: A sophisticated peashooter with a range of up to 500 yards and deadly accuracy at close quarters; Gregorian Chant: A type of unison singing invented by monks as a mask for snoring; and, Music Lesson: A form of cruel and unusual punishment inflicted on young children by their parents.

Hysterical, any and all musicians should own a copy!, 17 Nov 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Musician's Dictionary (Paperback)
This book pokes fun at just about every music term possible. I received it two years ago as a gift and everytime I open it I find something funny that I had missed before. Every musician should own a copy of this book!
