The riddle has been told about particular musicians such as guitarists and drummers and trumpet players, about actors, and about mutual funds and IRAs. The joke has been cited in print since at least A: The bond matures. Google Groups: rec. A: The bonds mature. A: Mutual funds eventually mature and make money. Eventually the fund will mature and make money.
The savings bond will eventually mature and earn money. Leonard Pg. The poor octopus is stressed from the cost for all the gear it is expected to own to gain employment. The appropriate remuneration of drummers was routinely contested. In the city of London in , newly unionized actors, musicians, and theatre workers in music halls went on strike to demand better wages, conditions, and regularity of work, and successfully boycotted 22 theatres in London.
As a result, the President of the Board of Trade appointed the barrister George Askwith to negotiate an agreement.
What became known as the Askwith Award was a landmark agreement which guaranteed musicians their jobs back and a minimum wage. The report went on to note that. The prejudice underpinning this argument did a great disservice to early twentieth century drummers of course. That all sounds great, but there is far more to [it] … In the first place [the drummer] has to have several years experience in playing dance work before he ever undertakes a theatre position.
Putting over a show in the best way possible rests largely with the poor drummer … That is the reason so many productions bring their own drummer as he is playing the same show month after month and naturally knows it and does not even have a score in front of him.
Most of the burden is carried on his shoulders and he is indispensable to a good performance. As a rule, drummers had to move their own equipment from one work engagement to another. I made it a little easier for myself if playing in the city, to leave my drums in the hall overnight and the next day would take them to the hall where I was to play that night.
By doing it that way I saved a lot of extra lugging. If I thought the distance was too far, I jumped on an electric car tram and placed my stuff behind the motorman, oftentimes to his disgust.
These men made so many complaints about it that finally all drummers had to have a permit to board any car, and then there was nothing they could say. Spears recalled one particular dance orchestra job in rural Connecticut in the dead of winter. He kept on going and the orchestra followed and soon we were leaving the village and getting out into the country … I was getting all tired out from lugging my heavy outfit.
At the time I had the bass drum on my side and with the other hand was carrying a large drum case full of traps, including the snare drum, while on my back I had my 35 pounds of bells. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the cost of acquiring, maintaining, and transporting drum kits did not cease with the modernization of the instrument in the mids. Compared to their fellow musicians bearing in mind that in the s the accessories required for performing on electronic and electrically amplified instruments were not yet common , drummers still had an unequal outlay for gear.
