[Dixielandjazz] What is an AX

[Bill Gunter]

Listees . . .

Steve Barbone writes (regarding "What is an ax"):

>"A musical instrument is a device -- could be anything, even a part of
>the body -- that is used to produce music"
>
>Yes, and by all means remember, a fart is a (w)hole note.

Ahh . . . does this not, once again, raise the spectre of Le Petomaine, one 
of the great musical artistes of all time. His art not only challenges 
bourgeois notions of "what is a musical instrument" but also "What is 
music?"

If you are not familiar with Le Petomaine and you do not click on the above 
URL your musical education will be incomplete.

Respectfully submitted,
