| Hmm.. no takers, ehh?
Fine, I'll start you off.
(To the tune of Why Can't the English...?")
Why can't the English teach cornetists how to play?
That wretched old vibrato grows wider everday?
If you played as he does, ma'am, instead of the way you should,
Why, you would be busking for good!
A coal miner's way of playing absolutely classifies him
The moment the horn goes to his lips, I'd like to mummify him!
One way of playing, I'm afraid we'll never get.
Oh, why can't the English
Learn..
To...
Set a good example for others whose playing is painful to your ears.
Mariachi players leave you close to tears.
There even are places where discipline completely disappears...
>spoken< Well, in Italy they haven't used it for years!
In France, Maurice Andre plays with the speed of summer lightning
Marsalis can play backwards which is absolutely frightening!
Americans eat pizza in between each gig and job...
>spoken< Americans don't care what they do actually as long as they swing it properly.
One common style I think is doomed to go away.
Oh, why can't the English,
Why can't the English
Learn...
to play?
Okay, the motor's running... jump on!
