Not musical, not a complaint, so a bit of a thread drift but..the weirdest question I ever heard: potter friend giving demonstration at a craft fair, throwing on the wheel, talking his way thru the centering of the clay, pulling up the walls of the pot, etc. etc. to the final lifting of the pot off the wheel head. Amid the admiring murmurs came a question from a woman who had been following it all very closely: "Yes, I see," she said, "but why do you make the wheel go around?"

Dumbfounded, but with great aplomb he answered, "Well, because it's easier than running around the pot."
