Book excerpt: Most professions have their own in-jokes but musicians, given to arrogance, pretension, bad housing, lack of sleep and far too much travelling, seem to have an *especially* large back-catalogue.Most music humour is self-deprecating, well perhaps not so much *self* deprecating as abusing other musicians who have committed the unforgivable folly of choosing a different instrument or genre.This book is a collection of well over 600 one liners, humorous lists and definitions spanning classical, rock, folk, jazz, country **and** western, mocking over 50 instruments and their players along the way. Not content with mocking musicians this book mocks drummers too.
