I'm such a music geek...
So anyhow, one day I was kinda bored since I was waiting for my music prof (conductor?) to finish whatever he was doing in his office... so to pass the time, I read some of the things that he plastered on his door... and I found that this article (gag?) is incredibly funny... so I thought that I'd share it to people...
New Musical terms from the Harvard music dictionary (... well, I least I think that's what it said... so it totally isn't mine)
F.Y.I. if any of these didn't make sense, don't worry, you kinda need to know some music theory for it to make any sense... actually some of it didn't even make much sense to me... X3
