Short stories featuring musical instruments and those who play them!
.
.
It was my turn to choose the questions for the pub quiz. I usually have trouble answering them so this was my chance to get my own back on the clever clogs that set those unfathomable ones.
I thought I’d pop into the bookshop to try and find a book of questions, and there in the Quiz Book section was my friend Rosey. I asked her what she was looking for, and she said she needed a book on French Cuisine!
Anyway, I found a suitable ‘quizionary’ and dashed home to get setting! I thought I’d go with a musical theme.
See how you get on –
1 Which instruments are cocktail bartenders best at playing?
2 What do you call a musical cow?
3 What instruments do Lynne and Mandy play?
4 What do you get when you drop a piano down a mine shaft?
5 What’s a metronome?
6 What did Mozart do in his grave?
Best of luck!
Answers
1 Maracas
2 A moo-sician

You’re welcome!
I’m one for six. Me: pathetic. You: too clever.
Haha, not at all Denise!
Wonderful! You win.
Thank you! I’d like to thank my family, my friends …..
I love pub quizzes. We won one when we were in Maryland on vacation. It came down to the last question. I don’t remember the question but I remember the answer was Neil Young. Funny that I can’t remember the question.Weekends In Maine
Which singer has a heart of gold? Perhaps not!
Fantastic Q & A.
Thanks Sadje!
You’re welcome
Good quiz, but I can imagine them all groaning over that last one. 🙂
It even had me groaning! Thanks Christine.
Clever clever. I thought the last one was a REST. While the first was a tambourine
Good but not right! No prize for you I’m afaid!
I’m terrible at riddles so I didn’t even try but these were pretty funny. I had to actually mime the 1st one (maracas) before I got it – shaken not stirred. Took me a minute. You are a funny guy!
Haha! Thanks so much for your funny comment!
Chuckle, chuckle, guffaw (decompose–blimey!)
I couldn’t ask for a nicer comment Arti!
I got the cow one (thanks to the kids), The Mozart one is the winner 🙂

Hehe, good for them!
For the instrument that bartenders play I was thinking glasses, like when you rub your finger around the rim of glasses with different levels of liquid in them.

I used to do that in my pub! I really should take it up again!
Ahahaha, well, none. I couldn’t find the answer for none :))
They made University Challenge seem easy!
Great riddles! Didn’t get any of them, so I’d be no good on a quiz team.
The city-dwelling dwarf is my favorite, Keith. I couldn’t figure out any of them on my own, though. Thanks for providing the answers.

They were rather high-brow questions, so don’t feel guilty! Thanks Gail.
