"Live Music The Doesn't Make You Want to Kill Yourself."

"And now a request from the audience."

"And now, God help us all, Rachmaninoff's Concerto in C Minor."

"You see, darling, he plays a Steinway, just like you."

"There's no business like show business. . ."

"It's dull now, but at the end they smash their instruments and set fire to the chairs."

"Let's see him get out of this sonata."

JimmyFest 2006

"Accepting the applause for Mr. Fontana—Mr. Fontana's mother."

"String quartets! Minor rhapsodies! Little symphonies!"

"A gentleman would offer his seat."

"This song describes the events of a lovely spring day. The sky is a cloudless blue, birds are singing, and out at the ballpark the grass is an emerald green. It's the top of the fourth, there are two out and runners on first and second. The batter hits a slow roller down the third-base line. The third baseman scoops up the ball barehanded and tries for a force play at second..."

Grand Piano

"Well, that's the only song we know, so we can play it another two or three times, or we can cut our losses. Waddya say, Cleveland?"

"By 'lighten up' do you mean 'dumb down'?"

"Is it true that you were the only person at the concert who refused to 'wave your hands in the air, and wave 'em like you just don't care'?"

"....you there, start playing! Now! Yes, great, keep playing! Now you! Yes, you! The oboe! Go! Now! Great!"

"Come on, you know the words! Bum bum bum bum!"

"Twofers! Twofers!"

Fizz Wipples All-Stars (Except for the second trumpet and the drummer).

"A bunch of us are going to Hell for the after-party. Care to join?"

"No wonder these Yo-Yo Ma tickets were still available. He's going to be playing the saxophone."

"Welcome to an evening of doo-wop! Just kidding, folks. Now for the Berlioz."

"This is the same music my fitness instructor plays for our abdominal crunches."

"It's very touching. She was his first teacher."
