Espresso Logic: A Jazz/Folk Duo

C, E-flat, and G go into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry, but we don't serve minors." So E-flat leaves, and C and G have an open fifth between them. After a f...ew drinks, the fifth is diminished, and G is out flat. F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough. D comes in and heads for the bathroom, saying, "Excuse me; I'll just be a second." Then A comes in, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and says, "Get out! You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight." E-flat comes back the next night in a three-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says, "You're looking sharp tonight. Come on in, this could be a major development." Sure enough, E-flat soon takes off his suit and everything else, and is au natural. Eventually C sobers up and realizes in horror that he's under a rest. C is brought to trial, found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of D.S. without Coda at an upscale correctional facility. (I take no credit for this. I saw it a few years back and thought it was brilliant.)

Great to see Bruce playing live (remotely) at the Ann Arbor Folkfest! I believe the concert is still available for purchase and viewing for a few more days. S...et list: Cafe Society Pacing the Cage Laughter In the Falling Dark Lovers in a Dangerous Time Wondering Where the Lions Are See more
