Classic(al) Jokes
Some jokes are just classic. Classic meaning old, and everyone has heard them. But sometimes, maybe you just need to hear them in a different way to appreciate them again. Some pieces of music are just classic. Classic meaning that everyone recognizes them, even if they don’t know what they are exactly. They are the […]
Accompanist’s Invoice for Lessons
So my one of my accompanists recently gave me this invoice for playing voice lessons. I’m not sure if they were kidding or not, but they said I had to fill it out. Also that I owed them some back payments. There seem to be a lot of hidden charges here. Perhaps they once worked […]
When to Use Lie, Lay, Laid, and Lain
Last year, when I released my educational holiday parody video “A Peninsula, Island, or an Isthmus?” it was, I have to say, a huge success.

Those of you with current or former babies know that they can lie there and just scream for hours on end. And I mean scream! How is this possible? If you tried to personally scream as loud and as long as those babies (like you did at that Justin Bieber concert that one time), you […]
Reverent Irreverance
I don’t know if any of you have noticed in the past, but I am a bit of a fan of humor. To me, laughter really is the best medicine (tied with penicillin), and I try to keep a sense of humor about almost everything. I am always ready to throw out a joke, or […]
The Origins of Humor
People have been laughing since the dawn of mankind, and trying to make other people laugh is something that we have all aspired to at some point or other in our lives, but some people just seem to be funnier than others. Perhaps you want to be funnier, but you just don’t know how. Luckily, […]
