the big apple

Nickname for New York City. Originally termed by a newspaper man to describe Broadway, as in the big apple to which everyone aspired. Eventually came to mean the entire New York City.
The first time I saw "Phantom of the Opera" was on the Big Apple (Broadway) in the Big Apple (NYC).

Guitar

sometimes used in art (like picasso paintings) guitars have influenced music since the beginning of the western world. closely related to a predecessor, the lute, guitars consist of 6,7,or 12 strings (i once saw a 42 string guitar..it was nuts) as far as acoustic guitars go, the best acoustic money can buy is either a C.F. Martin, or a Takamine. As far as electrics go: Fender, Gibson, or Paul Reed Smith (PRS) the strings are strummed or plucked either with the bare fingers or a plectrum (pick) to create a pleasing array of tonal masterpieces.
For a really cool painting, check out Picasso's "Le Vieux Guitariste" ("The Old Guitarist"). It's from his blue period.

Marching Band

A sport in which the participants run around on the field wearing STINKIN' HOT UNIFORMS, playing music of some sort, while carrying instruments of varying sizes. All this AFTER 12 or so hour days of hotter than hades practices and pain. And yet, we keep coming back...I LOVE IT!!!
My band director's philosophy concerning shows was, "If you don't end the show out of breath and about to pass out, you didn't give it your all."

Cobra

When a woman gets an attitude and starts wagging her head back and forth!
Robin Williams to Oprah: "Don't be getting all cobra on me now!"
