Leaving amps in a hot car?

Also a trombone.

The accordions joke is classic.

The joke I have for banjo is: “why was the banjo player wearing a suite... will the defendant please rise”

My fav drummer joke: “how do you get a drummer for the band, ... order a pizza to be delivered”

which allows the drummer to one up the guitarist:

“how do you know your guitarist is not homeless... find out if he owns a car”

my favorite guitar joke: “how do you get two guitarist to play in counterpoint... give them the same piece of music to read”.

I just realized I have no singer jokes... that might be because the pain induced by having dealt with vocalist is not something I can laugh at.

The singer joke is a bit longer. The singer asks the pianist which key to do the song in. The pianist says “We start of in E Phrygian then modulate to a G harmonic minor and come back through an altered Aflat to a C Lydian. The singer asks why it’s so complicated and the answer is “that’s how you did it last time”.
That said, humidity, temperature and especially temperature gradient can have dramatic effects on sound. But I only know about big big noise at 100 or more yards.

"I want to do 'Misty' in F#."

Also a trombone.

I have seen him live several times, he's absolutely awesome. I was at one concert when the power went out and he kept playing solo by himself, his powerful sound filled the entire arena until the power came back on.

You cant hear your brain melting, but people around you might hear a slight sizzling sound, like bacon on a medium hot pan

Is that what they mean when they say, "Man, you were really smokin' tonight!"? Clearly, I need to work on my non-verbal cues perception!

Rita Payes is another great trombonist. But sometimes the jokes write themselves. The most common trombone joke seems to be the request to leave it at the bar until the next gig, next year.

When I was taking flute lesson, I heard trombonist assumedly practicing. I kept looking around for elephants to show up. What was coming from the trombonist sounded a lot like elephant mating calls to me.

In the same vain: I am sure my neighbors have thoughts about tuning and my early rock bands.

How do you confuse a harmonica player... tell him what key the song is in.

[sgosnell]

Lots of harmonica players carry a couple of dozen harps along, one in each key. Or one chromatic model. Harmonicas are sort of similar to guitars - easy to play but very difficult to master.

Nothing to do with hot cars, but here's Rita. Guitar content: her mother often accompanies her on guitar. Take your pick of videos, they're all good. https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...elisabeth+roma

If you want lots of trombones, here's a bunch of them trying to impress Rita. Perhaps more than the law allows.

Those Barcelona players are amazing. The old guy who runs the band and school is teaching them JAZZ. No BS...

[sgosnell]

Some really amazing players have come out of the Sant Andreu Jazz Band. Some first-rate American musicians have played with them - Scott Hamilton, Scott Robinson, many more. Two of the best-known, aside from Rita Payes, are Andrea Motis and her sister Carla, who plays guitar very well. Hundreds of YouTube videos with SAJB, as well as individual members. They can play.

Andy Brown used to (maybe still does) keep a Peavey amp in the trunk of his car, which he used at gigs, sounded good. Someone on the interwebz asked him why he used it, and he said it was just a cheap amp that could stand knocking around in his trunk in Chicago, summer and winter. It's more the player than the amp. His blackface Fender Vibrolux Reverb probably sounds better, but not that much. I've heard him in videos with both, and there isn't much difference to my ear. He wouldn't leave the VR in his trunk all winter, though.

Is it harmful to amps to be left in a hot car? The electronic components, caps, etc? Tube vs SS? The solder points? Or how about the speaker cones? I've always wondered, especially about paper cones.

So-by hot car you mean a Corvette or Lamborghini, right?
