Cold, Big Pat. I used to work as a musician on Bourbon Street in New Orleans way back in the late 1960s, early 1970s. Paid for my college that way. We needed our drummer very much since he and I were the only two guys who had a good enough internal clock to keep up proper timing. The guitarists and horns were decent but needed that beat to stay together. And you don't realize just how important drums are until you don't have any to keep things steady.
Worst Joke
Man1: Which way out?
Man2: I don't know.
Man1: Which way in?
Man2: I said I don't know! F***!
Man1: Then how'd you get in?
Man2: Just as how you get in here!
The author of this one is really making himself a good joke!

Hey Doc Man, I drum myself. Purely for pleasure (well maybe to anonoy my neighbour a bit too!!) Wow, Bourbon St. in the late sixties. That must've been something. I'm currently saving hard for the family trip of a lifetime to the States, probably in mid-2012. I'm thinking NYC and DC but I really should try to make it down to the Big Easy. One of my earliest memories of growing up in rural Ireland is hearing my mother sing an old folk song called "The Lakes of Ponchartrain". It was years before I learned where that was.
What's the difference between a drummer and a drum machine?
With a drum machine you only have to punch the instructions in once.
I'll lay off drummers now. Are there any harmonica jokes out there, I wonder? The words "suck" and "blow" come to mind!

In the United States of America they invented a machine that catches thieves; they took it out to different countries for a test.
· USA , in 30 minutes it caught 500 thieves,
· India, in 20 minutes it caught 3000 thieves,
· Nigeria , in 10 minutes it caught 6000 thieves,
· South Africa, in 5 minutes the machine was stolen.
SOUTH AFRICA IS SIMPLY THE BEST

I took a little time and found two regular jokes, and a few one line Q:/A: style jokes. I am sure that there are probably plenty more that are better than these.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When little Timmy saw his aunt for the first time after the holidays he thanked her for the harmonica she had given him, adding that it was the best gift he had ever received. "I'm so glad you like it. Have you learned how to play it yet," his aunt asked. Laughing, little Timmy replied, "Oh no, I don't play it. Mommy gives me 50 cents a day to not play it during the day and Daddy gives me $5 a week to not play it at night."
A Guitar Player says to his wife, "Oh, baby, I can play you just like my guitar."
His wife replies, "I'd rather have you play me like a harmonica!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Why do dogs howl when harmonica players play?
A. They're trying to tell them how the song goes.
Q. What do you say at the end of a great harmonica solo?
A. Thank God.
Q. What do you call a harmonica player in a brand new suit?
A. Dearly departed.
Q. How do you know there's a harmonica player at your front door?
A. He doesn't know when to come in and he can't find the key.
Q. What is the difference between a harmonica and a '57 Chevy?
A. You can tune a '57 Chevy.
Q. What's the difference between a Guitar and a Harmonica?
A. No-one minds if you spill beer on a Harmonica.
Q. How many harmonica Players does it take to change a light bulb?
A. Only one, but he'll go through a whole box of bulbs before he finds the right one.
Q. How many harmonica Players does it take to change a light bulb?
A. None--they just steal somebody else's light.

Big Pat, if you are coming to the Big Easy, post or send me a private message so I can perhaps set up a chance to show you a few places.
Rookie: I particularly liked the Q/A jokes about howling dogs, not knowing when to come in, and a harmonica player in a new suit. Slightly more barbed than others.
On the other hand, does anyone remember the group called Johnnie Puleo and the "Harmonicats" ? I used to love seeing them on the Ed Sullivan show and other variety shows of that time. Johnnie Puleo, being a midget, was always able to get a laugh when he played. He would start with a relatively small harmonica, maybe 6 or 7 inches long, but then in the middle of the piece, he would put that away and take out a 28-inch instrument. Needless to say, THEY knew when to come in, and they ALWAYS had the right key.
The way folks talk about the harmonica reminds me of the oboe - the "ill wind that nobody blows good."

A pirate walks into a pub with a steering wheel in his pants.
The bartender, obviously confused, asks the Pirate: "Hey buddy, don't you know there's a steering wheel in your pants???"
To which the pirate replies: "Ayyyye! It's driving me nuts."
