Warm, Ballsy or Brown?

It is times like these, in quests for truth, that I reach out and think “What would Lindsay Lohan’s father say?” and he might say, WWLLFS :
“The girl is such an amazing, talented, gifted and loving person. She’s been consumed by the people, the lifestyle, but you know what? Don’t give up hope. I am telling you now, if she gets the help that she needs, she is going to be right back on top, just like Robert Downey Jr.”
That is so accurate: yes she will be back on top in her new movie role as Linda Lovelace…

So with that point of departure, a father and daughter’s parallelepiped love\hate for each other… I attack the problem presented by the head gear Geek himself, Pribekstein.

But, as many of you know I don’t know shat from Shinola about the gig trade of improvisational guitar… don’t you worry — that won’t stop me. Using my rare talent as clarinetist and using local subjects in the field, for instance Ferdinand the bull, I shall test for “Warm” and “Ballsy” eh?

So I assemble my B-flat French licorice stick, with coffee stained reed, and proceed out into the field. Ferdinand is a prolific herder, Ste Getrudis bull that runs on the grouping of heifers out here. He is as docile as a butterfly, lest another bull arrives … but 99% non-judgmental.

I corner him up in the barn [metal building] and get out my milking stool. I inspect his balls to make a note of how they look before I perform the test. Everything is ship shape, and Ferdinand is happy with the five-in-one bucket full of grain at his nose.

I asked around to find a ball handler who might assist me in this endeavor, but no one had time … and my sworn enemy is unavailable, so I go it alone… if his members get warmer, I will not be certain.

I start with lowest note on the register … in bass range E .. well to tell you the truth it is a ball vibrating note … and Ferdinand does stop chewing for a moment and looks over at me…. whether things heat up — it is still to be determined. So right of the bat this is a good testing ground, by the look of it.

I run through the rest of the notes ascending and notice reactions mostly at Gb , Ab , Db , and Eb … reactions are tail swinging swatting flies, ear twitch, skin twitch, and a slinging of fodder slobber over his shoulder… good stuff !! We’re excited.

I lose Ferdinand in the higher registers until I hit a high A# …. then old boy just stops everything he is doing and bellows… maybe this is a repent, don’t know for sure. But I am almost certain his balls shrunk a little during that blast, ascending themselves into the tenore range.

Summary
This experiment was conducted to prove the warm balls sound of instrumentals, using raw, unspoilt nature as its catholic study grounds. There is an old Italian saying: “Buon festa, come sono calde le uova?” which means “Happy Day, how warm are the eggs?”
