People's ideas of what classical geeks are like: omg so smart and sophisticated and refined!

Actual classical music geeks: debate all day about which Haydn symphony fart joke is the funniest. Team #51 here!

Two orchestra violinists.
Musician 1: Every time we play
The Creation, we're stuck with these 70 year old parts that are impossible to read, and smell like...

😅I’ve spent most of my adult life inadvertently disabusing the notion that classical nerds are smart ‘n stuff 🤪.
Awesome on the fart jokes hiding in plain sight! #ClassicalMusic

Roman Turovsky - "Tombeau de Boleslaw Lesmian" - Maciej Konczak (theorbo)
YouTube video by Roman Turovsky Roman Turovsky - "Tombeau de Boleslaw Lesmian" - Maciej Konczak (theorbo)

Bolesław Leśmian is a Polish poet I’ve found fascinating—and elusive in translation—knowing him only by way of a gorgeous Tombeau for theorbo by Roman Turovsky.
NOW there’s a short video & reading with Edw. Hirsch about him: youtu.be/1soYINOUmGg?...

We start ‘em young in the Sass house; Progeny was probably 3ish. Now Dr. Progeny is still at it, playing women’s league 😁 🏒

They were! Hockey is a religion in our house, so seeing the women’s team win gold was amazing, especially with how well the Canadian team skates. It was true competition!

I have brothers who are twins, and they used to do that stuff all the time. Could mimic each others commercial art style, and a couple times one covered for the other so the other could go on unapproved time off. 😆
I even mixed them up once…took me 20 mins to realize it.
