Nota bene for musicians 2

You may remember my earlier attempts to improve my musical knowledge. Here's the second part stolen from the same source:

Interval: time to meet the players in the bar
Perfect interval: when drinks are on the house
Cantabile: This tinned beer has made me sick
Con spirito: drunk again
Tutti: Ice cream
Coda: served with chips-a
Codetta: child's portion
Chords: things that organists play with one finger
Discords: things that organists play with two fingers
Suspended chord: for lynching the (kazoo?) soloist
Rubato: ointment for the musician's back
Subdominant: "I can't play till I've asked the wife"
Tonic: a pick me up
Syncopation: a bowel condition brought on by an overdose of Jazz
Crochet: knitting.
RtS ( a poor thing but not mine own!)
